Traditional taxi firms have demanded that app-based taxis with less than nine seats should be treated the same as them to “ensure fairness and transparency”.
Ride-hailing firms like Grab should be managed like traditional taxi companies to ensure a fair playground for the passenger transportation market, Nguyen Cong Hung, deputy director of the Viet Nam Auto Transport Association said.
Taxi companies have expressed mixed views on draft regulations drawn up by the Ministry of Transport to amend Decree No 86/2014/ND-CP, which concerns automobile transportation businesses.
