Bukit Jalil taxi drivers losing ‘last mile’ customers to escooter service

Taxi drivers waiting patiently for customers at the Bukit Jalil LRT station bus-stop. They now face competition from escooter companies which have placed their vehicles for rent there.

EVERY day, a group of taxi drivers wait patiently to ferry passengers disembarking at the Bukit Jalil LRT station near the Bukit Jalil Stadium to their next stop.

After losing a large portion of their business to ride-ehailing companies, these taxi drivers now bank on customers at the LRT station to hire them for the last mile of their journey.
