High staff levels drive up costs of shipping, increase income disparity
BEIJING - China's tollway system, widely criticized for overcharging shipping companies and the public that uses the roads, employs too many workers and is inefficient, some recent reports suggest.
In Luoyang, Central China's Henan province, a road company that manages fewer than 100 kilometers of tollways employs more than 400 people and spends about 40 million yuan ($6.16 million) on operational costs each year, according to a report by China Central Television (CCTV) on Saturday.
