E-hailing drivers to hit the brakes

PETALING JAYA: At least 50% of e-hailing drivers will “fall out” by the July 12 deadline for them to obtain a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licence, according to their representative bodies.

Malaysian E-hailing Drivers Association president Daryl Chong said he supported the government’s move to regulate the e-hailing industry, but felt that most part-time drivers would opt not to fork out the extra costs involved.
