Set strict rules for bike e-hailing


ON Nov 27, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that the Transport Ministry (MOT) would engage with Road Transport Department (JPJ) and Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) if companies were to apply to operate motorcycle e-hailing services.

However, if MOT, JPJ and APAD were to use the same old approach in determining whether bike e-hailing services should be allowed in our country, the decision would likely be “no”, rendering the whole exercise a waste of time and opportunity.
