Get Rich Quick: Taxi Surcharge Down Plus Line 10 Closure
Beijing has its ups and downs, and the taxi fuel surcharge reflects that. Starting from today, you now only have to pay an extra RMB 2 over the price shown on the meter (for any trips over 3km). Will illegal cabs also be lowering their prices in accordance with the change in the official surcharge? We can only hope.
In other transport news, Beijing Subway Line 10 will be closing early this evening (Dec 5) and all day on Saturday (Dec 8). The upside of the disruption is that the opening of Line 10's second phase is getting tantalizingly closer. All aboard.

Re: Get Rich Quick: Taxi Surcharge Down Plus Line 10 Closure
@Bambi508 There've been no official announcements on weibo or the subway website about a closure today. There's no guarantee that this means it won't be closing, but it seems unlikely. Good luck!
There is, however, mention on the website that Line 10 may be closed on Saturday, Dec 15, once again for testing purposes. For more (in Chinese), see their website: http://bjdtw.com/ditie/bencandy.php?fid=43&aid=855
