- 94. � Group 1(43%) � Group 2 (56%) Since the MOTC has already rejected Uber's administrative appeal, I think Taipei city government should cancel the company registration of "Taiwan Uber Inc.” When I am not in a hurry, I prefer to call Uber even if there are plenty of taxis in the street. Since the MOTC has already rejected Uber's administrativeSince the MOTC has already rejected Uber's administrative appeal, I think Taipei city government should cancel the company registration of "Taiwan Uber I think it is the responsibility of the MOTC to actively outlaw unlicensed passenger vehicles. Currently, the only way for traditional taxis to survive is to join a taxi fleet. This is not due to a government policy, and UberX has subverted this unwritten rule. I think it is quite awesome!
- 95. � Reflections I thinkthat we live in an technological era. Infrastructures & regulations shall progress along with the modern development. Drivers should be reviewed to protect and ensure the interests of both riders and drivers. Safety is the number one priority.
- 96. � Expectations The governmentshould leverage this opportunity to challenge the taxi industry to improve their management & quality control system, so that drivers & riders would enjoy the same quality service as Uber. I think every effort should be made to shut down UberX’s unlawful activity. There is no need to ask the people to express an opinion.
- 97. 1. I thinkthe government should set up a fair regulatory regime on transportation instead of protecting certain groups with vested interests. 2. On the issue of paying taxes in Taiwan, Uber has the responsibility to put forward a responsive mechanism to adequately convince Taiwan's community. 3. I think UberX should follow the practices of taxis and requires their vehicles to display the registration certificate, license and complete driver’s information at a visible place in the vehicle. � Suggestions
- 98. � Suggestions 4. Ithink transportation is similar to food and medicine in that it should be subject to more stringent definitions and checks than for other general service platforms. 5. I think private passenger vehicles should be registered. They should be limited to two shifts per day in order to achieve the carpooling effect. An additional passenger protection insurance cover should also be purchased. 6. I think it should be permissible for a for-hire driver to join multiple fleets and platforms.
