Friday rush hour has one fewer option after transportation officials ordered GrabBike to halt its service because it violated the law.
The Department of Land Transport told the operator of motorbike taxi service GrabBike to stop operating because the use of private motorcycles, its payment system and rates do not comply with the law. Authorities also suggested such services were bad for Thailand.
“While their service is still against the law, the department will ask for cooperation to temporarily halt the service until it can comply with the regulation,” said Nanthapong Cherdchoo of Department of Land Transport.
