KUALA LUMPUR – InDrive, a Russian based ride hailing app, has been given a notice of termination by the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) for flouting e-hailing transport guidelines.

APAD, an agency under the Transport Ministry, has given inDrive three months to return their Intermediation Business License (IBL).

The company has also been given a chance to respond to the notice within the same time period.

The IBL is a necessary regulatory requirement for any e-hailing operation in Malaysia.

Sources familiar with the matter said inDrive has been given numerous show cause letters prior to the termination letter in view of their failure to adhere to the guidelines, which was introduced in 2019.
