My Department has yet to receive any proposals with regard to any taxi sharing scheme.

In any case, the Commission for Taxi Regulation was established under the Taxi Regulation Act 2003 and is now the independent public body responsible for the development and maintenance of the regulatory framework of the control and operation of small public service vehicles, i.e. taxis, hackneys and limousines, and their drivers. The issue raised in the Deputy's question relates to the day-to-day responsibilities and actions of the Commission for Taxi Regulation in accordance with its principal function and objectives under the 2003 Act.
