A Chinese taxi driver says business is booming since he installed a karaoke machine in his cab for customers.

Fan Xiaoming spent £600 on three flat screens, 16 speakers, amplifiers and disco lights, reports New Culture Daily.
And he says takings have shot up since he transformed his cab into what he calls "Changchun's only karaoke cab" last month.
"Many people ask for my number for their next trip," he said. "And sometimes they even ask me to take a longer route so they can spend more time singing."
Fan says the passengers' singing doesn't distract him from driving, since he already knows all the songs and it's just like listening to the radio.
"I only sing during my lunch break with some cab driver buddies," he added.
Fan, a cab driver for nine years, said he had always harboured ambitions to be a singer himself, but never had the time as he was always behind the wheel.
"Then one day I suddenly thought, since I spent most of my time in the taxi, why not install a karaoke machine in the cab?"
