KUALA LUMPUR – The Land Public Transport Agency (LPTA) today announced that the age limit for the use of taxi and e-hailing vehicles in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak, and the Federal Territory of Labuan has been increased to 15 years.
In a statement released here today, the agency said the extension is in line with the Transport Ministry’s intention to sustain the taxi and e-hailing industry towards improving the country’s transport system.
It said the extension applies to both taxi and e-hailing vehicles in the peninsula and e-hailing vehicles in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan with the conditions, among others, that the vehicles reach the maximum age limit starting January 1, 2023.
The vehicles must also be in compliance and pass all mandatory periodical inspections by Puspakom and other stipulated operating conditions.
LPTA said it hoped that with the announcement, taxi and e-hailing industry players can improve the quality of their service towards making it a trusted and quality mode of choice for the people.
