Regulation of For-Hire Passenger Transport: Portugal in International Comparison

Why did we select this research?

This study provides input for the ongoing policy-making process to possibly revise regulations that were developed before the arrival of new app-enabled demand-responsive mobility services and platforms in Portugal.

Key findings:

• Lightening the regulatory controls on entry and fares for dispatched taxi service.
• Introducing new types of regulation on CTAs than have currently been deployed in most markets.
• Regulators should increasingly seek to leverage data-led regulation as a way of providing a lighter and more flexible approach to achieving public policy objectives.
