PETALING JAYA: The Transport Ministry wants to help taxi drivers diversify their source of income and earn more by joining e-hailing services.

Its Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said that the ministry is encouraging taxi drivers to sign up for e-hailing services as a means of getting more passengers.
