The government has granted Macau Radio Taxi Services Limited – the city’s current and only radio taxi company – a licence to operate another 200 special radio taxis, with the first 100 additional taxis slated to come into service in the fourth quarter of this year, the Transport Bureau (DSAT) said in a statement yesterday.
The licence to operate the 200 special radio taxis will be valid for eight years, the statement said.
Macau Radio Taxi Services Limited, which is currently running 100 radio taxis, started its service in April 2017. The government signed an eight-year contract with the firm in September 2016 for the operation of 100 special radio taxis, after announcing earlier that month that the company won the bid – one of two accepted bids – for a licence to operate up to 100 special radio taxis.
