On July 15, the Transport and Logistics Bureau of Hong Kong presented a regulatory legislative framework for online car-hailing services to the Legislative Council, marking a significant milestone in the legalization and regulation of this industry in the city. The proposed framework introduces a 'three-license' management system for online car-hailing platforms, vehicles, and drivers, and specifies that platforms will be required to pay annual license fees commensurate with the number of vehicles they operate. This initiative aims to address concerns related to safety, insurance, and other pertinent issues arising from online car-hailing, fostering a harmonious coexistence and development alongside traditional taxi services.
