Taxi associations request temporary policy to hamper Uber and GrabWhile local authorities plan to build a new decree on business and conditions for transportation business by automobile, Vietnamese taxi associations request a temporary policy to tighten the operations of Uber and Grab to replace the existing Decision No.24/QD-BGTVT on the pilot schemes for ride-hailing services. The taxi associations also showed numerous disadvantages during the implementation of the pilot programme in the past two years. The taxi associations also complained that two years is a long duration for implementing a pilot programme. In reality, the operations of traditional taxi firms have been seriously impacted by the appearance of Uber and Grab. Hence, the taxi associations proposed to build a temporary policy with the aim to stop extending the fleets and the geographic scale of the pilot programme.
