Taiwan Taxi defends charges amid unlawful profits claims
Taiwan Taxi Company has clarified that all fees charged to its drivers comply with regulations and have been reported to the responsible authorities. The company defended itself against recent allegations of unlawfully collecting excessive profits from drivers. It stated that all charges are transparent and published on its website. Among the controversial charges are fees for corporate invoices, Easycard processing, and duties. Accusers also claimed that drivers are required to install televisions in their passenger seats to play advertisements, including those featuring actress Ruby Lin, on behalf of Thermage FLX, without receiving compensation. Taiwan Taxi stated that it is undergoing a digital transformation and developing new platforms, with the vehicles’ media players serving functions beyond playing advertisements. The company reassured its drivers that the digital transformation would not increase management costs for them, emphasizing that their monthly charge has not been raised in nearly 20 years.

Taipei Songshan Airport taxis bring back NT$50 parking fee
Starting Jan. 1, 2024, taxis from the Taipei Songshan Airport will charge a $50 stay service fee, aligning with fees at Taoyuan and Kaohsiung airports. This decision, made following evaluations by the taxi fare review committees of Taipei and New Taipei cities, aims to address rigorous competition and rising operational costs in the industry. Passengers traveling through the airport, also known as Taipei International Airport, should take note of the new transportation cost changes, especially during peak travel periods such as New Year’s Day, the Lunar New Year, and the 228 holidays. The airport authorities have urged scheduled taxi operators to provide quality service and inform passengers about the fee change through verbal explanations and in-vehicle signs. Additionally, the airport offers free parking for the first 30 minutes, providing some relief for those being dropped off by family members.

New Taipei boosts yellow-line parking, targets 150 sections
New Taipei City’s Department of Transportation is actively working to improve over 150 sections of yellow-line parking by February 2024, in response to a provisional ordinance by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) that acknowledged the scarcity of temporary parking spaces in metropolitan areas. The department has already completed over 60 conversions from red to yellow lines, prioritizing areas near MRT stations, hospitals, schools, taxi infraction hotspots, and areas with high temporary parking demands. These adjustments are carefully implemented to ensure a minimum lane width of 5 meters and avoid prohibited areas. Yellow-lined streets have a no-parking window from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., allowing only for quick drop-offs, pick-ups, or loading. The MOTC requires that every 100 to 150-meter stretch of red-line roadside have at least 10% allocated for temporary parking. Until these provisions are met, parking violators will face fines ranging from NT$300 to NT$600.
