A survey conducted by local think tank Collective Wisdom Policy Centre shows that 21.7 percent of 1,012 respondents said that they had used the –formally illegal – Uber service, and about 50 percent of the respondents who used the service said they were “satisfied” or “very satisfied” with it.
Ho Weng Hong and Chan Ka Leong, both key members of the group affiliated to the Macau General Union of Neighbourhood Associations (commonly known as Kai Fong), presided over a press conference at the centre to announce the findings of the survey conducted in May.
A total of 1,012 local residents completed questionnaires aimed at understanding locals’ views on the government-proposed amendments to the current taxi service regulation which has been in place in 1999, as well as residents’ views on an “online transportation network company” that recently launched an app locally which allows consumers with smartphones to submit a trip request which is then routed to the company’s drivers.
