This website reported on July 11 that the Transport Department of the Hong Kong Transport and Logistics Bureau plans to submit a research report on cracking down on illegal taxis and regulating online ride-hailing platforms to the Legislative Council Transport Committee this Friday (July 12). This site learned from the report that the Transport Department suggested that the Hong Kong SAR government should further improve existing laws and strengthen the crackdown on car owners or drivers using their vehicles to illegally operate online ride-hailing services.

3. Uber and other online ride-hailing platforms have not yet Restricted, but the SAR government hopes to include it in taxi license management

   • Only more than a thousand online car-hailing licenses have been issued
   • The number of Hong Kong drivers registered on the Uber platform reaches 210,000
