Legalising e-hailing services

Road ahead: The Government is seeking to regulate the e-hailing services industry to give more protection to passengers and drivers, among others.

LAWS have been tabled in Parliament to regulate e-hailing services while protecting the drivers from being harassed and assaulted in the future.

The Government is seeking to introduce an intermediation business licence, following amendments to the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board Act 1987 and the Land Public Transport Act 2010, to legalise e-hailing services as a public vehicle.
