CCAC releases “Inquiry report on the intelligent terminal system for taxis”
The CCAC has completed the “Inquiry report on the intelligent terminal system for taxis”, where it believes that there was no illegality in the award of the contract for the “Supply and maintenance service of the taxi management system” by the Transport Bureau (DSAT), and the monthly service fees as well as the deposits charged to the taxi licence and permit holders by the awarded entity, New Leader Tecnologia Informatica (Macau) Lda (hereinafter referred to as “New Leader”), were also legal and reasonable. The CCAC points out that the taxi management system has two components, namely the “vehicle device” and the “taxi monitoring system”. The tender scheme makes it clear that no matter who the awarded bidder for the former would be, MOP300 would be charged per month. As for the latter, namely the “taxi monitoring system”, the monthly service fees are borne by the SAR Government. Moreover, it was not found that the DSAT failed to monitor New Leader properly. The CCAC stressed that entry into force of the Legal Regime forTransport of Passengers in Light Vehicles for Renting (hereinafter referred to as “New Taxi Law”) as well as the implementation of the supervisory mechanism for the terminal system for taxis have indeed played an important and positive role in combating the “taxi chaos” that had remained rampant in the past.
