Taichung taxi industry celebrates husband and wife team
2023-03-27
The city of Taichung has a couple of taxi drivers with a very sweet story. Chang Ken-feng and Liang Su-hua had both lost their spouses when they met through their shared work. As they swapped tips on the taxi industry, they grew closer and closer. Now they’re the first married couple to get a double thumbs-up from the city of Taichung. And they volunteer for the local taxi bus, a free service for rural residents of Taichung.
Close the doors and fasten the seatbelts. The husband and wife are both behind a driving wheel and off they go.
They pull up in rural Taichung.
The driver and passenger chat easily like old friends. The Taichung taxi bus goes up into the mountains, and down along the coast, offering free transport to locals. The couple love to provide this service, despite living on a modest income.

When you get feedback from your service, it’s a kind of gratitude. That kind of service gives you more of a feeling of power.
After losing their respective spouses, taxi drivers Chang Ken-feng and Liang Su-hua met through work, and ended up married once more.
Liang Su-hua
Taxi bus driver
When I first started in this industry, I had an upset stomach every day. He told me, in this job, if there’s ever something you don’t know about the road, you can always ask me. I thought, “What a kind person!”
At first they chatted about work, then they shared more and more about their personal lives. And in the end, they would drive out for romantic dates --each in their own cab.

For example, if we were both free at 6 o’clock, we’d go out and get coffee and chat. And then around 7 we’d both go off and get to work.
Alongside their marriage, they’re a formidable team at work, supporting each other 24/7, day and night.

It’s very convenient. The person who needs support is always right by you, always available.
The adoring couple decided to enter the voluntary taxi bus service together. Among a roster of 9,000 drivers, they stand out as the first married couple in Taichung to receive an “Excellent Driver” award simultaneously.
