New Transport Law Seeks to Regulate E-Hailing and Ease Taxi Industry Tensions

According to the newly gazetted National Land Transport Amendment Act, which aims to regulate e-hailing services and enforce strict licensing and compliance rules, e-hailing app developers who allow unlicensed operators to use their platforms could face severe penalties.

The new regulations also aim to address the long-standing conflicts between e-hailing drivers and the traditional taxi industry.
