Dego Ride.

KUALA LUMPUR: Cities here need to move away from motorcycle-taxis and follow the example of more advanced cities such as Singapore, Tokyo and New York that do not allow such public transportation.

Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said this was one of the reasons why his ministry has banned the motorcycle ride-sharing application Dego Ride.
