Taxi driver offers free rides for singing karaoke

I think it is crazy and amazing that a taxi driver offers free rides in exchange for Karaoke song. Because I know there is a show named < Carpool Karaoke > in which many celebrities singing in the car with the host. It is funny and appealing to me. However, I can’t believe that people can try it in their lives, and I am sure the driver must be a big fan of Karaoke. So he can do it without only earning money. For some people, singing is relax and it can take their mind off from the stressful work, but for others, maybe it is a disaster. It depends on different people. If you are good at singing, try to keep doing it. Not only can make you happy, but you also will save the taxi fee. It seems like kill two birds with one stone.
