The Transport Bureau (DSAT) has said that it will launch a tender for new taxi licences in the near future.
A recent DSAT statement said that as of last week, Macau had a total of 1,602 taxis, comprising 1,302 black taxis and 300 radio taxis.
The upcoming tender will be for black taxi licences, according to the statement.
The new licences are expected to be valid for eight years.
The last time that the government launched a tender for new black taxi licences was in 2018.
The statement acknowledged that the number of black taxis has been decreasing as more and more taxi licences have expired over the past few years.
