    App-based cab system

    CAR owners who want to engage in app-based cab service can apply for certificates for both drivers and vehicles by logging onto http://pta.sztb.gov.cn.

    After an applicant’s information is reviewed and approved, he can make a reservation for a test, through which he can obtain the two certificates.

    The authorities will share driver and vehicle information and retain the right to overrule qualification, or even revoke the license of a driver and vehicle, through the cab service operator, if the driver commits a serious violation or the licenses expire.

    The newly decorated cinema was put into operation three months ago. Medical checks showed that the three had suffered slight injuries, and they were released after receiving treatment.
