NIBONG TEBAL, June 29 — The Road Transport Department in Penang cracked down on e-hailing drivers recently for charging higher fares than shown on the app.
Its director, Adenan Md Isa, said 11 cars were stopped and its drivers — in their 20s and 40s — detained in Ops Khas E-Hailing conducted since yesterday outside the Covid-19 Low-Risk Quarantine and Treatment Centre in Jawi and Seberang Perai Selatan district police headquarters . “During the operation, 14 vehicles were inspected and drivers of 11 vehicles were caught using the app price guide but not pressing the ‘accept’ button after passengers had agreed to the fare.
“This would mean they won’t have to pay the 20 per cent commission to the app company,” Adenan said during a press conference at Stesen Penguatkuasa JPJ Valdor today.“Some deliberately raise the price by up to RM20 although it’s different on the app,” he said, while adding that the 11 men will be investigated under Section 12 of the Land Public Transport Act 2010. — Bernama
