PUTRAJAYA: The Land Public Transport Agency has never issued any directive restricting the use of Sport Utility Vehicles for e-hailing registration purposes.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke confirmed there have been no policy changes regarding vehicle type eligibility for e-hailing services.
All vehicles meeting technical requirements with seating capacities between four and eleven passengers remain eligible for e-hailing operator licensing.
Loke issued this statement to clarify recent media reports that had caused confusion over SUV eligibility for e-hailing registration.
The ministry understands concerns raised among e-hailing drivers and operators regarding these reports.
Loke assured that the e-hailing registration process will continue as usual according to existing rules and guidelines.
Recent media reports had incorrectly claimed that SUV-type vehicles were no longer permitted to register for e-hailing services. – Bernama
