HCM City to revise plan to limit taxisThe HCM City Department of Transport has asked for a revision of a taxi development plan to limit the number of taxis in HCM City up to 2025. The rapid increase in the number of taxis has contributed to traffic congestion and management difficulties for HCM City authorities. There are 11,000 traditional taxis operating in the city, while the number of Grab cars totals 21,050. Under the original plan, the total number of traditional and app-based taxis would have been limited to 14,460 by 2020 and 16,520 by 2025. The recent increase in the number of cars used by app-based taxi services has worsened traffic congestion, according to experts.
