PETALING JAYA: E-hailing drivers can make about RM4,000 to RM7,000 a month, but a large bulk of it – about RM1,200 to RM1,600 – goes to fuel. “If petrol prices increase, drivers are not prepared for it. Mohd Azril hopes the government will continue supporting gig drivers if that happens. “The government could at least maintain some form of fuel subsidy for e-hailing drivers because we are part of the public transport ecosystem,” he said. “If petrol prices have to be adjusted, mitigation measures should be considered for gig drivers,” he added.
