PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Drivers in the e-hailing service business are prohibited from waiting or looking for passengers while plying their trade at all places including airports, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) said. The matter was contained under the terms of the e-hailing service licence stipulated under the Land Public Transport Act 2010, it said. JPJ was commenting on a Facebook claim by an e-hailing service Grab driver who was issued a summons for picking up a passenger at the Penang International Airport on Tuesday (Jan 1). Last month, a group of limousine drivers had protested at the Penang International Airport claiming that e-hailing drivers had affected their business. JPJ in its statement had also said that the Transport Ministry had made amendments to laws relating to the implementation of e-hailing services in the country.
