7 Car-hailing

Car-hailing service apps have become popular in major cities across China since last year, adding pressure on the traditional taxi industry. Authorities have frequently taken a stand against drivers who use their private cars in such services.

Earlier this month, the Ministry of Transport concluded its solicitation of public opinion in preparation for the drafting of regulations on car-hailing services. According to the draft, a license will be needed for drivers of private cars to offer rides for payment. The draft also intends to raise the income of taxi drivers.

The ministry received more than 6,000 opinions, with most discussing how car-hailing services should be managed and what should be required of the drivers and their cars.
