PNB chairman: Reduce Uber, Grab car service charges


Cheap money: Uber is taking advantage of historically low interest rates.

PUTRAJAYA: Ridesharing car services such as Uber and Grab Car should reduce their service charges to help drivers secure more income, said Permodalan Nasional Bhd (PNB) chairman Tan Sri Abdul Wahid Omar.

“Uber takes about 25 per cent (as service fee) from the drivers. They could do with less,” he said based on his experience as a Uber driver.
