But that has not stopped the issue from shaping up as a major battlefield for the upcoming Queensland state election.

Here's where the parties stand on the issue.

Labor

A government bill, creating a taxi and limousine assistance package, passed in December 2016.

The $100 million assistance package includes one-off payments of $20,000 per taxi licence, capped at two per owner, while limousine licence holders can apply for a payment of $10,000.

An LNP amendment to the bill passed, requiring the government to outline its plans for the industry within three months and have them implemented within six.

It came after Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk announced ride-sharing services such as Uber would become legal from September 5, 2016, in addition to reforms to level "the playing field".

The government introduced its second stage of reforms in March, which would mandate a zero blood-alcohol reading for drivers.

Regulation changes will mandate security cameras where payment is made with cash during the journey - which would not apply to Uber - an annual certificate of inspection and disability awareness and anti-discrimination training.

Uber drivers will be slugged with a new $237.26 annual licence fee and taxi and limousine licences and plates will be retained.

And driver fatigue must also be managed by companies and operators.

The government's bill has been referred a parliamentary committee, which is due to report back by May 15.

Labor criticised the LNP's policy announcement of an "independent Personalised Transport Commissioner", saying it raised more questions than it answered.

LNP

An LNP government would appoint a Personalised Transport Commissioner, which would be responsible for the licensing and registration of vehicles, drivers and operators.

The commissioner would liaise with the Motor Accident Insurance Commission to set compulsory third-party insurance premiums.

They would also recommend safety standards and regulatory changes to the minister, including in relation to safety cameras and vehicle identification, and advise on opportunities to reduce the regulatory burden on all industry members to ease the pressure on fares.

The commissioner would also direct transport officer enforcement of personalised transport regulations.

The LNP would also establish a Personalised Transport Ministerial Council, including the minister, commissioner and industry.

The LNP criticised the Labor government's policies, saying they had left thousands of taxi owners and operators angry and out of pocket.

Katter's Australian Party

KAP is set to introduce a private member's bill to create a separate authority to enforce ride-sharing laws.

The authority would look at long-term enforcement of the law and would combine the work of police and the Department of Transport.

Member for Mount Isa Robbie Katter said there was a need for legislation to create a non-politicised body to enforce the rules and establish fair regulations.

In April 2016, KAP's private member's bill, including higher penalties for ride-sharing drivers and giving transport inspectors more powers to detect offenders, passed.

One Nation

Queensland leader Steve Dickson said ride-share companies would have to comply with the same requirements as the taxi industry if One Nation won the balance of power or were elected to government.

Mr Dickson said ride-sharing companies such as Uber would have to pay the same insurance as taxi licence holders and hardwire their vehicles with video and audio devices.

He criticised the actions of Labor and the LNP and said it would be an election issue.
