ABSTRACT

The advancement of information technology has led to the emergence of ride-hailing services, breaking the monopoly of traditional taxis and providing convenient, fast, and cost-effective car-hailing services. However, before the introduction of regulatory policies for ride-hailing services, various practical and public opinion conflicts arose, causing significant disruption to the taxi industry. This article examines the evolution of ride-hailing regulatory policies from the vacuum period, through the initial phase, to the maturity stage, using the theory of multi-source flow. It highlights key considerations in policy formulation and proposes three recommendations: paying close attention to the sources of issues, valuing the accumulation of opinions within the policy-making process, and effectively utilizing political momentum. These suggestions aim to provide valuable insights for the development of regulatory policies.
