MOTC: Taxi drivers increasing in number, as take-home pay rises
Posted on 2026-10-31 15:07:14
A transport ministry survey shows an increase in the overall number of taxis
in Taiwan ... as well as an increase in the take-home pay of drivers.

According to the biannual survey, there were nearly 93,000 taxis nationwide
last year, up 1.2 percent compared with 2023.

Among them, so called multi-class taxis increased to around 36,000 or 40
percent of all taxis. That's a 34 percent increase since 2023.

Multi-class taxis include Ubers. They're only allowed to respond to app
requests and aren't allowed to pick up streetside hailers. They also aren't
allowed to be yellow.

According to the ministry, nearly 80 percent of passengers book taxi trips
via apps, highlighting the digital transformation of the sector.

The average net income of full-time taxi drivers was around 32,500 NT in
2025, up 20 percent compared with 2023.
