KUALA LUMPUR: Taxi drivers who feel oppresed by the current pajak or taxi rental system will be given a way out by the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) under a plan approved by the Cabinet last week.

Not only do they stand a chance to apply for individual taxi licences, some may even be given RM5,000 as seed money to buy their own taxis. To further sweeten the deal, they would also have a choice of purchasing vehicles other than Proton to be turned into taxis.
