Pyongyang sports new Chinese-brand taxis

Taxis in Pyongyang cater to well-residents, making sudden increase in numbers unusual

The Singapore-based Choson Exchange has posted three photos of new taxis in Pyongyang, identifying the latest vehicles to be added to North Korea's growing taxi fleet as being from a Chinese brand.

Choson Exchange said the latest cars to be added to the fleet mean the number of taxis in the city has now swelled to more than 1,000 vehicles – a dramatic increase in less than a year.
