Press conference to demand a ban on Uber and GrabCar at Sentul Curry House. AZMAN GHANI / The Star
WITH the passing of amendments to the Land Public Transport (LPT) Act 2010 and the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board (CVLB) Act 1987 in the Dewan Rakyat on July 27, e-hailing service providers will be given up to one year to adjust to the regulations stipulated under the law.
In essence, e-hailing drivers will be required to meet conditions similar to those placed on conventional taxi drivers, such as displaying a driver’s identification card, undergo mandatory medical check-ups, have the car registered as a public service vehicle, pass annual vehicle inspections, and have proper insurance covers.
