業內人士透露網約車新政最快5月份出臺

China's Ministry of Transport is reportedly mulling over proposals to regulate increasingly popular online cab hailing services, according to Economic Information Daily on last Wednesday.

據經濟參考報上週三報道，中國交通部正在考慮針對日益紅火的網絡預約車服務管理辦法的意見稿內容。

They've been prompted by safety concerns which have stemmed from incidents involving existing hailing apps such as Didi and Uber.

網絡預約車服務已經引起了對於安全問題的關注。這些問題源於現存的約車app如滴滴打車和優步引起的一系列事故。

The new regulations could come as early as the beginning of May, industry insiders said. The new regulations would require cars to be registered on accredited platforms, and only vehicles with transportation permits will be able to sign up.

業內人士稱，新規最早將於5月初出臺。新規將要求車輛在官方認可的平臺上進行註冊，且只有具有運營許可證的車輛才能登記註冊。

Private car owners who want to get a permit would need to re-register their vehicles.

想要獲得許可證的私家車主需對車輛重新註冊。

Once they've done that, their vehicles have to be scrapped after 8 years. Cars for private use face no such deadline.

一旦變爲營運車輛，其車輛的報廢年限就變成了8年。目前，私家車使用不受這類年限限制。
