Tokyo making big changes to taxi service and fares, looking for a few "testy" drivers soranews24.com

With the Olympic Games looming, the government and Tokyo taxi companies are looking at ways to overhaul how they charge and to become a little more English-friendly.
However, according to studies Tokyo cabs do tend to lose marks when considering their relatively high fares and, for some tourists, lack of English ability.
The Tokyo Hire-Taxi Association is establishing a new certification for drivers with a certain level of proficiency in English.
Creative accounting and kooky acronyms aside, these little perks should help to make taxis in Tokyo more accessible.
For now you can just take a regular taxi driver and poke him in the ear.
