Khanh Hoa to work with Grab on the hailing services 

Nguyen Cong Đinh, director of the Department of Transport, was quoted by Nguoi Lao Đong (The Labourer) online newspaper as saying that Khanh Hoa had not granted a licence for Grab’s operation due to the province’s overloaded transport infrastructure.

Khanh Hoa Province has not granted a license to Grab due to the province’s overloaded transport infrastructure

The transport department would work with Grab on this issue.

Due to the overloaded infrastructure, the province wanted Grab to cooperate with exiting taxi operators in the province to set up its service rather than introducing more cars.

Previously, the provincial People’s Committee sent a document to the Ministry of Transport about why it had not granted a licence to GrabTaxi.

However, GrabTaxi was reported to be available for booking in Khanh Hoa Province on Monday.

Grab announced its operation of GrabTaxi in Khanh Hoa Province on Sunday after launching GrabTaxi and GrabCar in northern Quang Ninh Province one month ago.

Currently, Grab is present in five provinces and cities, including Ha Noi, HCM City and Đa Nang City.

On January 7, 2016, the Ministry of Transport issued Decision 24 on the implementation of a pilot project on contracted passenger transportation in five provinces and cities, namely Ha Noi, HCM City, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa and Quang Ninh, by 2018. — VNS
