China Taiwan Network reported on January 19th, according to Taiwan's United Daily News, Uber19 announced on February that it will cooperate with the Taiwan Taxi Driving Employees Union National Federation of Taiwan in February to take the lead in launching Uber Taxi service in Taipei. The Ministry of Transport pointed out in the afternoon that even though Uber cooperates with taxis, it turns out that it is still operating illegally in the form of self-use and rental cars, and will continue to be severely punished. At the same time, after issuing the first punishment letter, the business will be ordered to be closed and the competent authority will be notified to implement the business. Taiwan's "Highway Administration" said that after Uber's heavy fines are on the road, the first ticket will be issued as early as February 2 after the Lunar New Year. Is

legal for Uber Taxi? The Ministry of Transportation said that if Uber and taxis have a consideration and financial flow relationship, taxi driving did not go against the law when it was banned. However, Uber's charges were illegally dispatched, but he was fined 25 million (NT$) and ordered to close his business in accordance with the law for failing to apply for illegal business in the taxi passenger service industry.

, but Uber has confirmed that Uber Taxi will not charge commissions in the early stage and will also provide consumer discounts. The Ministry of Transportation pointed out that if Uber is a service platform that is completely charitable and has no consideration, it will not be fined because of the fact that there is no business. However, the Ministry of Transportation also emphasized that in accordance with the regulations, those who operate the automobile transportation industry or taxi passenger transport service industry may impose penalties and order them to close their business according to the severity of the violation. Uber was originally operating illegally by using self-use and rental cars. The Ministry of Transportation will continue to issue penalties and will order it to close after issuing the first punishment letter. At the same time, it will notify the competent authority of the Taipei Municipal Government Commercial Department to implement the matter.

However, in the past four years, the Ministry of Transport has been continuously punishing "ordered to suspend business", but Uber still continues to operate. The Ministry of Transportation said that in the past, the text of the highway law was ordered to "close business", which is different from the "close business" stipulated in the " Company Law ". The last amendment bill has changed the "close business" to "close business", and it will be implemented, even if Uber is an information company, it should still be closed.
