Life of Guangzhou - Tips for Hailing a Taxi in Guangzhou

There are 84 taxi companies in Guangzhou with 16000 taxis in different colors such as maroon, yellow, blue, green and gold. What are the differences? In Guangzhou, if a taxi company owns more than 1,000 cabs it is considered a large company. Only 3 out of that 84 reach such a scale, and enjoy a good reputation among citizens. The three companies are the yellow taxis of the Baiyun Group, the blue taxis of the Guangjun Group, and the maroon taxis of Guangzhou Transportation Group.

Drivers from the three taxi groups are professionals and familiar with every part of the city.

About yellow cabs:

About blue cabs:

About maroon cabs:

Most of the drivers are from Guangzhou or Guangdong province. The cabs are mostly distributed in old districts like Liwan, Yuexiu and so on
