A slimy Tianjin taxi driver tried to profit off disaster by charging passengers a starting price of 100 Yuan for a ride away from areas affected by the Tanggu warehouse fire. Luckily, justice was swift this time, and the driver's license and eligibility was revoked by the city yesterday.
The Tianjin Transportation Committee posted on its official Weibo that the driver had been reported for hiking fares during the time of panic. When faced with an investigation, the driver confessed and he was punished accordingly.

If every taxis out here who tried to charge me extra had their license revoked, there would be none left on the roads.
