PETALING JAYA: More people have been turning to taxis since a new regulation over e-hailing drivers came into effect, according to Shamsubahrin Ismail, founder and adviser of Big Blue Taxi Facilities Sdn Bhd.

Shamsubahrin said the change in users’ response could be seen from the demand for taxi services in Kuala Lumpur. “Not just in KL Sentral but even at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and the Twin Towers . The numbers used to be low at KLCC, but now we can get 500 to 800 trips a day. That’s just KLCC, not including other places,” he said.

Shamsubahrin said the increase was not only due to demand by users but also because of requests from e-hailing drivers to join his taxi company.“They’re starting to open their eyes and believe that picking up passengers with prices that are too low does not ensure the financial status needed to service and bear the operational costs of e-hailing drivers,” he said.

Kamaruddin claimed there were e-hailing vehicles that were more than three years old lacking the Puspakom sticker while still registered with Grab.
