E-hailing and taxis subject to same rules from July 12, with one-year grace period

PUTRAJAYA: E-hailing services such as Grab will be subject to the same regulations as taxis from Thursday (July 12), especially for license registration, vehicle inspection and operational requirements.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the regulations were an extension of the laws already passed in Parliament last year, which provided for legalisation of e-hailing services.
