Deputy transport minister to hold talk to Uber soon

Pichit stood firm that the ministry will not change or adjust any laws or regulations for any particular group or individual.
He said using privately owned car as taxis through its application is definitely illegal.
If Uber wants to offer taxi service in Thailand it needs to abide by the law and regulations of Department of Land Transport (DLT), he said.
The DLT will call a meeting with Uber within a couple of weeks to discuss legal hurdle claiming by Uber that it cannot register as public transportation.
Uber on Thursday issued a statement, insisting that it is not a taxi service, but ride-sharing service instead. It said the technology that enables ride-sharing is different from existing public transportation, which is Uber cannot register as public transportation.
