Relief may be in sight for taxi drivers who complain that they are struggling to make a living because of the high daily rental imposed for their vehicles.
The Land Public Transport Commission (Spad) will urge taxi companies to review the quantum and amend the terms of their contract with drivers.
"The terms .... must not be a burden... Spad will work to improve the situation. We will urge the companies to change certain terms," Deputy Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Ahmad Maslan (left) told the Dewan Rakyat.He was replying a supplementary question from deputy speaker Wan Junaidi Tuanku Jaafar, who was presiding over Question Time this morning.
"Is Spad going to monitor the daily rental of taxis that go up to RM125 a day? Why is the rate so high? " he asked, citing information from a taxi driver he knows.
Ahmad then referred him to the KL public transport master plan drafted by Spad and which is available online.
"... All the concerns and details that you mention are in there. We welcome more feedback,” he added.
