first concern of government authorities is the legality of the transportation network companies. The purpose of this study is to analyze the multi-legal relationship under the innovative transportation information service platform model.

However, after amending Article 103-1 of the
Regulations for the Management of the Automobile Transportation Industry, whether such a wide range of legal authorizations complies with the principles of legal reservation, principle of legal certainty, and proportionality principles should be further explored. It is recommended that use the Internet or Apps to call a vehicle as one of the tools to match the needs of passengers and driver. No
matter what platform is used for ride-sourcing, they should have relevant
licenses and insurances.

services to match the customers and vehicles. |
