Editorial summary — norms vary by region within each country and shift over time. Read the local mood.
foodpanda
foodpanda dominates Taiwan; Uber Eats is strong in Taipei and Kaohsiung.
Editorial pick based on which app actually has restaurants AND working couriers in this city. Coverage shifts — apps pull out of markets all the time.
Uber
Uber operates licensed-driver-only in Taiwan after a 2017 regulatory shift. LINE Taxi is the local alternative; 55688 is the legacy taxi-hailing service.
Editorial pick based on coverage, foreign-card UX, and how reliably drivers actually accept trips. Markets shift — apps pull out of countries and surge pricing varies wildly.
