With changes to the amount to pay the government for violations, the Chinese government chose to reduce the fines for ride-hailing services in the nation.
It originates from instructions issued by the Chinese Ministry of Transport and other organizations with a stake in this regulation. For those operating without a license, the nation is not altering anything, though.
China recently conducted an inquiry and fought a legal struggle with its well-known cruise service, DiDi Chuxing, which led to the most recent revisions for its fines and infractions.
To increase its local administrative focus, China's authorities in the local transportation industry have reduced the punishments for infractions involving ride-hailing services across the nation.
The South China Morning Post reports that the State Council of China decided to lessen the punishments for violators as reason for the action.
The fees are as follows right now:
- For those who operate without the necessary licenses, the fine ranges from 3,000 yuan (US$431) to 10,000 yuan.
- 200 to 2,000 yuan - for drivers who operate while not having the necessary licenses or credentials to provide ride-hailing services.
In the past, China has requested up to 30,000 yuan in fines for these offenses in the ride-hailing industry.
