Texaco number can not meet the minimum requirements, has not renew
the licenses granted in the year September 30 After the end of the

Texaco operating licenses, in

driver or the driver, taxi companies can not put the team sublet to
others, or they will face for a maximum fine of 100,000 yuan,

the passengers and taxi drivers' interests. As to whether there are
similar complaints received or suspect that any taxi companies to
team "outsourcing" sublet to others, LTA by the advisory did not
disclose further details.
National Association of Texaco chef consultant Hong Dingji by the
advisory said, to his knowledge, indeed before the taxi driver and
passenger complaints, some of the highway Texaco Texaco team does not seem to
directly registered by the driver of operation, suspected others to
the Texaco company "package"
under the convoy, and then sublet.
Let taxi driver aggrieved that rent these taxi drivers seem not
with other peers, strictly follow the taxi companies and the
various LTA regulations laid down, and these drivers but had some
behavioral problems by other Company blacklisted.
He said: "The authorities should act on such complaints, through
regulations or inspection as to whether action by the LTA
decided."
Drivers should also be registered for the class
In addition to these provisions, LTA also expressly provides
that Texaco Company shall
ensure that all taxi drivers, including drivers for the class prior
to the company register in order to obtain driving Texaco.
Moreover, to improve taxi service levels, to ensure that taxi
companies to respond to the feedback of passengers, the industry
also required to establish a 24-hour hotline and ask passengers
reply within three days.
LTA said that the new provisions have been discussed with the
taxi companies, taxi companies have accepted all these new
conditions, and that they do not operate on the existing wide
implications.
Several companies, including Texaco ComfortDelGro, SMRT and Premier
Texaco by the advisory said,
their operation has met the LTA requirements, including a 24-hour
hotline. Premier Executive Director Linchong Wu said: "The company
has already set up hotlines, also require all drivers to register,
I believe LTA these regulations is to set out in black and
white."
However, Hong Dingji requirement for 24-hour hotline was
incomprehensible. He said: "The technology is advancing rapidly,
why need to rely on manpower to solve the problem? Allows
passengers to provide feedback via e-mail, do not necessarily rely
on the hotline."

for amendment Texaco
regulations, including regulations taxi fleet operators to increase
the minimum number of vehicles, the device controlled by the
company headquarters - call (On-Call) signs, and ensure that they
have the ability to payable on-call services.
The new taxi company was awarded the license in the first year,
you must launch 200 Texaco (in the past for the 100), renew the
licenses of existing industry in the team when you have to make
sure to at least 800. Council also tightened the Texaco service
quality standards, regulations industry in the on-call service,
safety, and the three major aspects of passenger satisfaction,
follow the more stringent requirements.
