Oldest Taxi License Contest

Submitted by on 19 May 2010 | 2 Comments

Contest time!

Do you ever notice the license number of taxi drivers in Shanghai? More likely than not, you’ve come across a newbie driver who doesn’t know the way to your destination. His license number probably starts with 3.

Ever met a really seasoned taxi driver? Show us a picture of the oldest license number and you’ll win a 12VPN Lite account worth $30/year! Include a picture of the driver, if possible. Deadline is 31 May 2010! Email your entries to comments@shanghaihalfpat.com, or share it on the Shanghai Halfpat Facebook page, or @shanghaihalfpat (Although technically, you wouldn’t be able to if you’re entering this contest because you need a VPN. Hmm.)!

Here’s mine (which I bet is hard to beat)!

    I can beat this – no problem – but also no proof, so not in the running for the prize. I hopped into a cab on Shaanxi Nan Lu a few months back and the guy's number was in the 200s. as in 0002xx. He said he'd been driving for about 27 years, from memory.

    oooh! That's a really old license! If only you had a picture of it…
