A guideline to coordinate taxi, Uber and Grabcar services must be provided quickly to produce a balance and healthy competition between the operators of the services.
Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) chairman Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar said the guideline was crucial for the taxi and Uber issue to be settled as soon as possible.
"We should not also dismiss the request of the consumers who like the service of Uber. But at the same time we will boost the quality of the taxi service and let the taxi drivers compete fairly and justly," he told reporters after attending a breaking of fast by SPAD here, today.
Syed Hamid said SPAD had sent a motion in the taxi (industry) transformation programme to the Cabinet in the effort to enforce and boost the quality of registered taxi service in the country, other than encouraging a healthy competition in the industry.
On June 18, SPAD announced that in its Taxi Industry Transformation Programme proposal to the government, among others, clarified on the need to allow under the law the Uber and GrabCar services and to level the playing field for taxi drivers.
Touching on the quarrel between taxi and Uber drivers recently involving an Iranian student at KL Sentral, Syed Hamid said the police would investigate the case.
"We cannot arbitrarily suspend permits or take action against them before the police investigated, or they are found guilty," he said.
Earlier, Syed Hamid handed over raya monetary contributions to 30 orphans from the Cheras Jalinan Kasih Orphanage.
