Lawmaker inspects Kaohsiung Airport, demands improvements to taxi reservation system

Legislator Lai Rui-lung has put forward three key demands concerning the taxi reservation system at Kaohsiung International Airport, following an inspection by the Legislative Yuan's Transportation Committee. Lai stressed the need for decisive action against illegal scalpers who exploit travelers seeking rides.

His proposals focus on improving the efficiency and fairness of the taxi service. First, he called for strict enforcement against illegal scalpers. Second, Lai emphasized the principle of "passengers wait for cars," rather than the current situation where drivers may wait for passengers, suggesting a need for better dispatching or queuing management. Third, he urged for the clear designation of waiting zones and improved identification for taxis.

Furthermore, Lai advocated for continuous enhancements to the existing taxi queuing lines and the overall waiting environment to ensure a smoother experience for both passengers and drivers. These measures aim to streamline operations and enhance the airport's service quality.
