City Taxis To Be Graded Soon To Ensure Quality Services

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 6 (Bernama) -- The Commerical Vehicle Licencing Board (CVLB) would soon grade taxis in Kuala Lumpur (KL), Penang and Johor to improve their services.

Its chairman, Datuk Raja Ahmad Zainuddin Raja Omar said taxis would be graded from three to one star and some 16,000 drivers in the major cities would be given three months to improve their taxis.

"We would begin in KL first," he told reporters at the CVLB's headquarters in Medan Mara Building here.

He said the grading would be focused on services, vehicle cleanliness and other aspects which would be decided by CVLB later to improve city taxi services and their image.

The grading exercise would first begin with consortium-based drivers and later extended to individual taxis, he said.
