Drivers bear the brunt of new regulations

THE current drive to impose stricter rules and regulations on e-hailing drivers is a bizarre move. As a heavy user of the e-hailing service and also a part-time driver, I think the government is trying to solve a problem that doesn’t exist, making it look like it wants to create problems for the ordinary people.

I signed up as a driver with Uber five years ago. I also started using the e-hailing service for nights out on weekends.
