Black Taxis vs Yellow Taxis: Differences and Licenses

Important Clarification: The official Macau tariff table does not differentiate between black and yellow taxis with different rates. All licensed "Light Taxi (Taxi)" vehicles charge according to the unified DSAT tariff table. What people commonly refer to as "black taxis" and "yellow taxis" refers to taxis of different colors on the street, but the fares are exactly the same.

Vehicle Type / License	Color	Main Service Mode	Starting Meter Fare
Regular Taxi (Street Hail)	Black + Beige Top	Street Hail / Taxi Stand	MOP 21
Regular Taxi (Same Model)	Some are Yellow	Street Hail / Taxi Stand	MOP 21
Special Taxi / Call Taxi	Blue / Red (Exclusive to Call Companies)	Must be pre-booked; Reservations available	MOP 21 + MOP 5 Instant Call Fee

Key Points:
- "Black taxi = Call taxi" is a common misconception; the correct call taxi service refers to special taxis (with licenses exclusive to call companies).
- Regular taxis, whether black or yellow, have exactly the same fares and surcharges.
- Only special taxis (call taxis) can charge an additional MOP 5 instant call fee.

Surcharge Summary

Table 3: DSAT Official Surcharge List

Surcharge Item	Amount (MOP)	Trigger Condition
Luggage Fee (per item)	MOP 3	Each piece of luggage placed in the trunk; small personal bags generally not charged
Immediate Call-out Fee	MOP 5	Only for special taxis, pre-arranged pickups

University of Macau Hengqin New Campus "Pick-up"	MOP 5	Must board at the UM New Campus

Table 4: Night Shift / Nighttime Surcharges

Official Conclusion: Macau taxis have no night shift/nighttime surcharges.

Item	Amount
23:00–06:00 Nighttime Surcharge	MOP 0
Late Night Premium	MOP 0
Holiday / Lunar New Year Premium	MOP 0

Neither the DSAT official fare table nor the Macau Tourism Board page contain any time-based pricing clauses.
Some online information claiming "30% night surcharge" is incorrect information, possibly confusing rules from other cities.

Table 5: Bridge / Tunnel Surcharges

Official Conclusion: Macau taxis have no "bridge/tunnel" surcharges.

Route / Facility	Taxi Surcharge (MOP)	Remarks
Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge (Macau-Taipa Bridge)	0	Meter runs as usual, no surcharge
Friendship Bridge	0	Meter runs as usual, no surcharge
Sai Van Bridge	0	Meter runs as usual, no surcharge
Macau Bridge (Fourth Cross-sea Bridge)	0	Meter runs as usual, no surcharge
Mount Fortress Tunnel	0	Meter runs as usual, no surcharge
Ká Hó Tunnel	0	Meter runs as usual, no surcharge
Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge (HZMB) Main Bridge Toll	RMB 150 ≈ MOP 178 (private car/taxi)	Passenger pays to driver; taxis rarely used for cross-border travel, mainly shuttle buses

Key Clarification: The "MOP 8 charge for pick-up at the HZMB Zhuhai-Macau Port Artificial Island" is a "pickup point surcharge", not a bridge toll. If you take a Macau taxi to the HZMB Macau port to be dropped off (drop-off only), there is no additional MOP 8 charge, nor is there a RMB 150 bridge toll (since the taxi does not cross the bridge to Hong Kong).

Uber / Amap Legality + Penalties

Uber / Amap / Didi Legality in Macau (2026 Current Status)

Core Judgment: Legality depends on the business model; there is no specific legislation for platforms themselves.

Service	Mode	2026 Legality
Uber Private Car (2015-2017 version)	Private car drivers picking up passengers for compensation (white-plate car)	Illegal; drivers have been fined
Uber Taxi (2026 Return version)	Licensed Macau taxi + meter-based fare	Legal (classified as "online hailing of licensed taxis")
Amap / MPay Platform (2025 launch)	Licensed Macau taxi booking + MPay electronic payment	Legal (classified as "online hailing of licensed taxis")
Didi	No officially confirmed legal private car ride-hailing service in Macau observed	Private car model illegal; legal if solely picking up licensed taxis and using meter

Uber official FAQ clearly states: Macau trips are provided by local taxi drivers, fares are calculated according to local regulations using taxi meters, with electronic payment. It is merely a booking tool, not surge pricing.

Expected Premiums During Peak Travel Season / Rainy Days / Grand Prix Period

Table 9: Supply and Demand During Peak Hours and Risks

Time Period	Passenger Pressure	Legal Premium	Risks (Negotiation / Refusal / Unlicensed Vehicles)	Response
Chinese New Year Golden Week (Peak of 228,000 passengers in a single day / 2026 record)	Extremely High	0%	Extremely High (Unlicensed vehicles quoting 1.5x–3x the meter fare)	Use Uber Taxi / Amap Dache / MPay for pre-booking; do not accept negotiations
National Day Golden Week	Extremely High	0%	Extremely High	Same as above
Christmas / New Year	High	0%	High	Same as above
Grand Prix (November)	Extremely High (Road closures + surge in tourists)	0%	Extremely High (Detours due to road closures may legitimately increase fare; but meter must still be used)	Depart 30-45 minutes early; avoid road closure times
Rainstorm / Black Rainstorm Warning	Extremely High (Bus services suspended, difficult to walk)	0%	High (Drivers selecting passengers)	Use App for pre-booking; accept fare but refuse negotiation
Weekday Rush Hours (08:00-10:00 / 17:30-19:30)	Medium-High	0%	Medium	Waiting fee accumulates on meter (MOP 2 per 55 seconds)

Key Principles:

No surge pricing by law. Any charge above the meter plus statutory surcharge is illegal.
2024-2025 reports: Macau has approximately 1,650-1,763 taxis, with a resident population of 700,000+, and tourism peaks create severe supply shortages.
2026 Chinese New Year Golden Week record: 1.554 million inbound tourists / 173,000 daily average / peak of nearly 228,000 in a single day.
Grand Prix period + National Games + Food Festival (2025 72nd edition): Police expect large number of tourists to visit Macau; traffic control will be most stringent.
Unlicensed vehicles / private car charter: During peak seasons, quotes may be 1.5x–3x the normal meter fare, especially at night, during rainstorms, at ports, or hotels; absolutely illegal.

8 FAQs

Q1: Do Macau's "black taxis" and "yellow taxis" have different fares?

A: No difference. All licensed regular taxis in Macau (flag-down taxis on the street) follow the same DSAT fare schedule: flag-fall MOP 21 / first 1,600 meters, then MOP 2 for every 220 meters. The so-called "black taxis" and "yellow taxis" only differ in body color and do not affect the fare.

Q2: How much is the night shift surcharge? Is it more expensive to take a taxi in the early morning?

A: Zero surcharge. Macau has no official night-time surcharge provisions; the DSAT fare schedule, the Tourism Department page, and Law No. 3/2019 have no time-based pricing regulations. If a driver requests a night shift surcharge, you can refuse to pay and file a complaint with CPSP +853 2837 4214.

Q3: Is there a surcharge for crossing the Sai Van Bridge / Friendship Bridge / Governor Nobre de Carvalho Bridge?

A: No. All cross-sea bridges in Macau (Governor Nobre de Carvalho / Sai Van / Friendship / Macau Bridge) and city tunnels (Eastern / Ka Ho tunnels) have no bridge or tunnel fees for taxis; the meter continues to run. The only exception is the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge toll of RMB 150 (≈ MOP 178), but this is only charged when taxis cross to Hong Kong (rare in practice).

Q4: How is luggage charged? Do backpacks/handbags need to be paid for?

A: MOP 3 per piece of luggage placed in the trunk. Small bags, handbags, and backpacks (placed on the floor or on your lap) are generally not charged. For multiple people with large luggage, it can reach MOP 10-20.

Q5: How much extra do I need to pay when boarding at Macau Airport / Ferry Terminal / Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Port?

A: MOP 8 boarding surcharge. Macau International Airport taxi stand, Taipa Ferry Terminal, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge Zhuhai-Macau Port Artificial Island, and Hengqin Port Macau side all charge MOP 5 (University of Macau new campus on Hengqin Island charges MOP 5). Note: The surcharge only applies when boarding; if you are being dropped off at these locations from the city, you will not be charged MOP 8.

Q6: Can Uber / Gaode Dache be used in Macau? Are they legal?

A: Uber Taxi (2026 version) and MPay Gaode Dache are legal, because they are merely ride-hailing tools; the underlying licensed taxi drivers charge according to the meter with no surge pricing. The 2015-2017 Uber private car model is illegal. If Didi uses private cars for passenger transport, it constitutes unlicensed vehicles with a fine of MOP 90,000 per vehicle.

Q7: How do I complain if the driver overcharges / refuses to ride / negotiates a price?

A: Report immediately to CPSP Traffic Division +853 2837 4214 (press 1), available 24 hours. Record the license plate number (MX-XX-XX), driver's photo/ID number (posted in the vehicle), pick-up and drop-off times and locations, and the overcharged amount. Penalties: Overcharging MOP 6,000-15,000; refusing to ride MOP 3,000; price negotiation MOP 15,000; unlicensed driving MOP 30,000.

Q8: Are taxis more expensive during Chinese New Year / Grand Prix / heavy rain?

A: Legally 0% surge pricing. However, unlicensed vehicles / private charters may quote 1.5x–3x the normal meter rate, especially late at night, during heavy rain, at ports, hotels, or when roads are closed for the Grand Prix. Solution: Use Uber Taxi / Gaode Dache / MPay to pre-book a licensed taxi, refuse on-site price negotiation; if forced to pay extra, record the license plate and immediately call CPSP to complain.
