PETALING JAYA: With the possibility of fewer drivers on the road because of new regulations by the government, users may experience an increase in “dynamic” fares, says ride-hailing company Grab.

“As commuters ourselves, we understand the pain passengers feel when fares are higher,” the company said in a statement on their website.Their advice was for passengers to book their rides earlier, especially when catching a flight or going to an important meeting.

They said the new e-hailing regulations would only affect private car ride-hailing services, such as GrabCar, JustGrab, GrabCar Plus, GrabCar .The company said while the intention to implement e-hailing regulations was announced last year, the actual process only started in April 2019. The government set July 12 for all e-hailing drivers to apply for a PSV licence, which is required for taxi drivers.
