N2 - We prove that the conditions of (q1, 1)- and (1, q2)-quasimertricity of a distance function ρ are sufficient for the existence of a quasimetric bi-Lipschitz equivalent to ρ. It follows that the Box-quasimetric defined with the use of basis vector fields of class C1 whose commutators at most sum their degrees is bi-Lipschitz equivalent to some metric. On the other hand, we show that these conditions are not necessary. We prove the existence of (q1, q2)-quasimetrics for which there are no Lipschitz equivalent 1-quasimetrics, which in particular implies another proof of a result by V. Schröder.
