Taiwanese cabbies are ranked among the best in the world thanks to Gary Lin, chairman of Taiwan Taxi, a company that revolutionized the industry while instilling pride in the profession. Founded in 2005, it now has the largest fleet in Taiwan serving around thousands of customers per day.

With the goal of erasing the traditional taxi driver stereotype and improving the ride experience for customers, Gary Lin worked tirelessly to create a service that is professional, trustworth, and reliable. At the same time, he invested in training the drivers, helping them improve the quality of their service, sharpen their language skills, and even equip them as tour guides for travelers.

Lin’s compassionate leadership became the company’s backbone, especially in hard times. During the pandemic, Taiwan Taxi made the health and safety of drivers its top priority, subsiding their vaccinations and installing programs to safeguard their livelihood. The company, thanks to its wide network of drivers, also took the lead in delivery services, from sending meals to frontliners to helping farmers transport their crops.
