After talks with the Ministry of Transportation, Uber stated on January 19 that it planned to cooperate with the Republic of China Taxi Drivers Union Federation to launch Uber TAXI. However, it remains an illegal operation, and drivers have also gradually joined unlicensed fleets to continue operating illegally. Consumers should be particularly cautious when choosing to ride.
Regarding Uber’s ongoing illegal operations, in January 2017, the Ministry of Transportation sternly informed Uber representatives that before any specific legislative amendment proposals were submitted and passed, Uber and its Taiwan-based operator, Yubolink Co., Ltd., should uphold corporate social responsibility, operate legally in accordance with Taiwan’s laws, and cease all business activities that violate current regulations. If Uber continues to disregard Taiwan’s laws, the Ministry has instructed the Directorate General of Highways to continue cracking down on Uber’s violations and imposing penalties. The Ministry also once again urges those intending to engage in similar business operations to comply with existing government regulations, immediately stop any unlawful behavior, and uphold market order and consumer rights.
Uber responded that it will suspend services starting February 10 and hopes the Taiwanese government can keep up with global transportation trends, and also looks forward to resuming services as soon as possible.
