Pyongyang’s taxi fleets are continuing to expand and develop, with multiple sources reporting on the emergence of new cars and features being added to existing fleets.

Japan based pro-DPRK newspaper Choson Sinbo reported that the previously unknown North Korean Taedonggang Transportation company have added built in meters, credit card payment capabilities and a “quick and accurate” dial-a-cab service to its 400 strong taxi fleet.

Western residents and regular travellers to Pyongyang have also confirmed the recent additions to the taxi fleet, as well as the presence of new taxis to the already increasing numbers currently operating in the capital city.
