Varying government regulations on taxi services in different countries across the world
In many countries, the operations of app-based mobility services are not regulated by a legal authority. therefore, their operation is not defined and regulated by the government. In addition, taxi services are required to obtain separate licenses and registration in most of the countries across the world.

Moreover, stringent government norms on the taxi industry especially in countries such as Australia and Vietnam further hinder the market growth. For instance, in 2018, the Department of Transportation in Vietnam decided to stop licensing operators under a pilot program, as the app-based taxis have been putting pressure on local traffic infrastructure and create unhealthy competition with the traditional taxi and transportation firms.
