Since the end of last year, Taiga Insurance, the leading taxi insurance company, notified taxi owners that the insurance will be terminated, causing a panic of taxi suspension. After the Insurance Regulatory Bureau took over Taiga and continued to underwrite the original policy, Yi Zhiming, a member of the Legislative Council of Shipping and Transportation, said , The taxi insurance problem has been temporarily resolved, but the industry is still carrying out various tasks to reduce insurance premiums.

He also pointed out that in order to attract new blood to the industry, it is necessary to increase the income of drivers.

In a telephone interview with Hong Kong and Taiwan's Millennium Times, Yi Zhiming pointed out that the taxi insurance problem has been temporarily resolved.

Yi said that the industry is testing the installation of an anti-collision system and a driver's driving attitude monitoring system to reduce the accident rate.
