According to the minister, “Services such as Uber and Careem can be implemented in yellow taxis only after meters are installed in the vehicles.”
“We are aware that this is a service that many travellers and tourists look for, but if they are to operate here, they must do so following the country’s ways and not their own ways,” the minister added.
