Beginning Of The Death Of Taxi

uber-x-carThanks God - this is the begining of death for our taxi.

Despite facing a number of challenges, Uber driver partners are expected to grow in Malaysia this year. The company expects to see a total of 100,000 new drivers in 2016 – a major reason for this can be attributed to the increasingly challenging economy.

These part-time opportunities just make a lot of sense in terms of increasing incomes while serving people who need rides.

So far, there are a total of 60,000 Uber driver partners in the Klang Valley and in relation to the higher recruitment this year. There are seven million people living in the Klang Valley.

While Uber has clarified that it is not in competition with taxis, some 102 taxi drivers will be suing the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) over Uber, Grabcar and Blacklane. An ad hoc committee has been formed to sue the commission for alleged negligence in banning the three operators. The taxi drivers claim that their livelihoods had been affected due to said services.
