Running on fumes by third week


Low on gas: Full-time e-hailing drivers are complaining that 600 litres of subsidised RON95 cannot last for three weeks. — FAIHAN GHANI/The Star

PETALING JAYA: Exasperated e-hailing drivers have criticised the Budi RON95 scheme, saying that it defeats the purpose if their personal 300 litres are being swallowed up by work.

They argue that lumping it together with the additional 300 litres for e-hailing work deprives them and their families of subsidised petrol meant for personal use.
