"The regulation, which president Tsai Ing-wen personally signed off on, places a bounty on Uber drivers, and rewards ordinary people financially for reporting them to police. Drivers caught accepting rides through Uber will face a minimum fine of NT$100,000 ($3,164) and a maximum fine of NT$25 million ($791, 277), depending on the infraction. That marks the highest penalty Uber has been subject to in any market, according to Uber. The regulation also ensures pedestrians who report Uber drivers to police can receive a percentage cut of the fine based on its size—thereby encouraging the public to rat drivers out for cash."

Uber squashed the law makers in the USA, but that doesn't meant you can repeat that everywhere else.
They can't as easily influence law makers in Asia because they don't have nearly as much political leverage. In US, they are lobbyists. There, Uber is the evail American corporation.
Wow - those are some serious fines!
Seriosuly! Can you imagine being fined $791,277![surprised]()
I would just laugh. and laugh. and laugh some more. I wouldn't even be worried.
Wow, you have to wonder just where the motivation for fines like that comes from...
