Those who intend to engage in online ride-hailing operations shall obtain an online taxi driver qualification certificate, and the vehicle shall obtain an online taxi reservation transportation certificate, and carry out online ride-hailing operation services on platforms that have obtained online car-hailing business license qualifications in urban areas.
