THE Transport Ministry is willing to make it easier for e-hailing drivers to clock in the six hours of course time to obtain a Public Transport Vehicle (PSV) licence.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke said among the steps that had been simplified applicants could take the course online without the need to attend classes physically, but were still required to take the hour-long exam in person.

He said Road Transport Department officers were also willing to go to locations nationwide specified by e-hailing operators to conduct the scheduled six-hour course to the e-hailing drivers.

“The flexibility has been given and it is up to them to choose which method to finish the six-hour course and one-hour examination,” he said when asked whether the ministry intended to ease the conditions for e-hailing drivers to obtain a PSV license before enforcement begins on July 12.

He was speaking to reporters today after officiating the “MyRailtime” application for smartphone users to get real-time train schedules from Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd. – Bernama, May 17, 2019.
