Without the cheap petrol under Budi95, Aslina said she would not even be able to make RM100 a day. Many e-hailing drivers are fretting over any ­possible decision to cut subsidies or do away with Budi95. Chong said most e-hailing ­drivers are working with very slim margins after platform ­commissions, vehicle costs and maintenance. “If fuel prices are hiked up by more than RM1, there won’t be any profits for us e-hailers,” said Mohd Azril. Father-of-four Khayr Ibrahim from Klang said that even if fares are increased along with petrol prices, passengers may look for cheaper alternatives.
