Uber are leaving Taiwan on the 10th February

Looks like the Taiwanese government is making it highly unprofitable for them to operate there, with each violation of their transport laws a potential liability of over 800k.

Also, cabs in Taiwan never seemed that bad to me. They were reasonably priced, mostly sanitary (if smelling like smoke), convenient, and reasonably priced.

They went in thinking they could just oust the yellow taxi cabs but were humbled by the tougher than anticipated experience and are now "pausing" -like true politicians do.
