Shanghai Taxi Service Clashes with Car-Hailers

(Beijing) – One of the major taxi companies in Shanghai has urged the Ministry of Transport to tighten private car-hailing service regulations.

State-owned Dazhong Taxi, in a letter to the ministry obtained by Caixin on June 22, said the use of private vehicles by drivers working for car-hire companies such as Didi Chuxing Technology Co. and Uber Inc. violates government licensing rules.
