The Ministry of Transport released the country's first nationwide regulation on car-hailing services on Thursday, offering legitimacy for the booming industry.
The car-hailing services have been popular in China in recent years to meet with people's travel demands, but they operate in a gray area of the law. Private cars are prohibited taking paid rides.
The new regulation says that private cars can be designated car-hailing cars after a certain procedure. The cars must meet with the country's criteria on vehicles, having no more than seven seats, being installed with satellite positioning and emergency alarm devices.
