rooster59 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Cabinet to consider legalising ride-hailing service By THE NATION Deputy Government Spokesperson Traisulee Traisoranakul Transport Minister Saksayam Chidchob will soon table before the Cabinet his proposal to legalise ride-hailing services, Deputy Government Spokesperson Traisulee Traisoranakul said. If the Cabinet approves the proposal, the ministry will issue regulations. The ministry will determine conditions to permit the use of passenger cars to provide an application-based ride-hailing service. The rules are expected to come into effect next March. Traisulee added that the move aims to provide a new option for public transport service to consumers and create a new kind of job for people. The ministry has also prepared relief measures to help those who might be affected by this service. She said the upcoming ministerial regulations would initially cover only passenger cars. The ministry needs time to study ways to legalise motorcycle ride-hailing services, she added.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but only a few days ago didn't we hear the boss of the Land Transport Department talking about looking into legalising Grab?

DLock Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 So, what you are really saying, is that the Grab car I got last night to take me to my friends airBnB rental were both currently illegal...? Powerless, inept and gormless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 They have a ride hailing service in Pattaya; it's called Taximeter. Unfortunately Pattaya Plod can't get them to fix their meters. Then the Dep Mayor comes out banging the drum about tourist scams yet his police force allows this offence to persist every minute of every day!
