Today, the Shanghai Road Transport Bureau issued a notice stating that it will suspend the acceptance of online booking of taxi transportation certificates.
The suspension is divided into two stages. The first stage is from 00:00 on July 22, 2023, when the acceptance of online ride hailing vehicle operation capability verification services will be suspended; The second stage is to suspend the acceptance of new services for online ride hailing vehicle transportation certificates from 00:00 on September 20, 2023.
The relevant business applications submitted before the suspension of work can be processed normally. However, after verifying the operational capacity of the vehicle, it is necessary to apply for changes in the nature of vehicle use and apply for operational certificates. Therefore, vehicles that have passed the operational capacity review need to complete the application for vehicle transportation certificates within 60 days from the date of approval. Vehicles that have not completed the application within 60 days will not be accepted.
Those who already have a ride hailing vehicle transportation certificate and the vehicle has not reached the statutory withdrawal period can apply for the extension of the ride hailing vehicle transportation certificate normally.
If the vehicle operation period expires without applying for a license extension, the operation qualification will be lost and the vehicle operation qualification will be cancelled. If you plan to continue engaging in related operational activities, you will be dealt with according to the newly added matters. According to the Announcement on Suspending the Acceptance of Online Reservation of Taxi Transport Certificates, Shanghai has temporarily suspended the acceptance of new online ride hailing services. Therefore, vehicles that have exceeded the deadline and have not applied for extension cannot apply for vehicle transport certificates.
The phenomenon of online ride hailing saturation has attracted attention from all parties. The Liberation Daily Shangguan News once released a survey report titled "The Shanghai online ride hailing market is becoming saturated, and driver orders have significantly decreased. They are all trying to persuade people to withdraw. Why are there still a large number of people entering?", focusing on the current situation of the city's online ride hailing industry, such as the gradual saturation of transportation capacity and the decline in driver income.
The competent department of road transportation in the city has stated that the next step will be to track and evaluate the capacity of the city's ride hailing industry, combined with the compliance work of online reservation taxis, and scientifically regulate the capacity of taxis. The time and specific requirements for the resumption of relevant business processing will be notified separately.
