The government’s draft bill on the taxi industry will be completed soon so that it can be submitted to the Executive Council, Transport Bureau (DSAT) Director Lam Hin San told reporters on the sidelines of a Road Safety Carnival in Praça do Tap Seac yesterday.
Lam said his bureau was finishing the draft, which would be submitted to the Executive Council, the government’s top advisory body, for discussion and then to the Legislative Assembly (AL) for debate and vote.
The proposed regulatory changes aim to combat taxi service violations such as overcharging, refusing to take on passengers, and unlicensed cabbies.
