Ride sharing services in Tokyo will be available starting April

By on January 11, 2024

It was announced on Wednesday by Tokyo Hire-Taxi Association, with taxi operators as members, that ride-sharing services in the capital city will be available from April 2024.

This means the current ride-sharing ban on taxi operators will partially be lifted from the new fiscal year provided services are restricted to specified hours and areas.

The specified areas apply to Tokyo’s 23 wards including Musashino and Mitaka on weekday mornings, Friday evenings, the early hours of Saturdays and daytime on weekends. Ride-sharing services by the Tokyo Hire-Taxi Association will be made available by using a taxi-hailing app.

Rideshare fees will be the same as taxi fares.
