Age limit for taxi, e-hailing vehicles increased to 15 years

The Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) today announced that the age limit for the use of taxi and e-hailing vehicles in Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan has been increased to 15 years.

In a statement, Apad said the extension was 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 Jan 1, 2023.

The vehicles must also comply with and pass all mandatory periodical inspections by Puspakom and fulfil other operating conditions.
