Joint action mooted against unlicensed cabs
Print Edition
CITY authorities are considering joint action against drivers offering unlicensed taxi services, officials said yesterday.
The crackdown would involve law enforcement forces in the public security department, plus transport, tax and commercial authorities.
This follows moves to report drivers moonlighting in cars with no business licenses for ride-hailing app companies, such as Didi-Kuaidi and Uber, to their main employers.
Drivers without business licenses taking fares also face penalties of 10,000 yuan (US$1,610) and losing their driving license for six months.
News of the possible joint-action initiative came in feedback by the Shanghai Transport Commission to law advisor Tu Haiming, in response to his proposals concerning drivers offering taxi services in cars with no business licenses.
The commission said it had communicated with other departments, including the Economic and Information Technology Commission, about the joint action, reported Oriental Morning Post.
However, agreement has not yet been reached by all departments, reported the newspaper.
Last week, traffic law enforcement teams began a crackdown on drivers — both licensed and unlicensed — using ride-hailing apps for bookings at airports, railway stations and ferry terminals. This is banned at city transport hubs.
