The mandatory requirement for private ride-hailing drivers to hold a public service vehicle (PSV) licence has caused concern that the number of drivers will drop, even with the three-month extension for drivers to obtain a licence.
WE still do not know if ride-hailing passengers will encounter longer waits for a ride or price surges due to demand when the grace period is up.
Do you depend on ride-hailing for your daily commute? Don’t own a car? It may be time to consider alternative options.
This is where SOCAR comes into the picture. One of Malaysia’s top car-sharing services, SOCAR lets you book a car by the hour, day or week all through the mobile app. No more
