A Chinese taxi driver is reaping the benefits of installing a karaoke machine in his vehicle, according to reports.
Fan Xiaoming claims business is booming and his takings have "shot up", due to what he calls "Changchun's only karaoke cab".
New Culture Daily reports the driver spent £600 installing three flat screen TVs, 16 speakers, amplifiers and disco lights in his cab after deciding to combine his job with his love of karaoke.
Mr Xiaoming claims listening to his customers does not distract him as it is "just like listening to the radio" and he only indulges himself on the machine during his lunch break.
He said: "Many people ask for my number for their next trip.
"And sometimes they even ask me to take a longer route so they can spend more time singing."
In related news, the Beijing Times reports that a Chinese electrician has spent around £100,000 developing an "amphibicar" which can float and drive in water.
