After Punjab, Sindh Asks PTA to Block Careem & Uber in Pakistan

[Sniper]

After Punjabs ban on Careem, Uber and other ride-hailing services, Sindh has sprung in to ban these services in Karachi, Geo TV has reported.

Citing Transport Secretary Sindh, the TV report said that private cars can not be used for commercial purposes and such cars have to seek mandatory legal permits to operate for ride-hailing services.
Taha Farooqui, Transport Secretary Sindh, was cited as saying that Sindh Government has already contacted Pakistan Telecommunication Authority to block Careems mobile app in Pakistan.


Official didnt clarify on how PTA is going to ban the app, or how this ban will be implemented for Sindh only


Sindh Government, in a press statement, said that it wrote five letters to Careem management as a warning but received no reply.

Statement further read that provincial government has also initiated action against Uber to bring the app within official compliance.
Owners of the cars would be required to obtain fitness certificates for the cars. Route permits would be needed before the cars can be used as taxis, he added.

It wont be out of place to mention that Punjab government issued a similar notification for Uber and Careem, after which such services are now illegal in Punjab.

حرامخوروں کو تکلیف صرف اور صرف یہ ہے کہ انہیں حصہ نہیں مل رہا ، موجودہ ٹیکسیوں ، رکشہ اور میٹرو سے ہزار درجے بہتر سروس ہے اوبر اور کریم کی

یہ ہے فٹنس سرٹیفکیٹ کی اوقات

Its all about commissions....or lack of them, for the bigwigs.

And the part about fitness certificates had me laughing in fits for a long time.
1. Rickshaws.......born to pollute.
2. yellow cabs........when they move, everything rattles....they spew dark smoke.....never have a functioning ac....charge an arm and a leg.
3. radio cabs..... my god their prices! On my recent trip to Pakistan, it cost me 900 rupees for a 15 min ride on a radio cab.

And Uber and Careem are challenging the above...which is obviously not good for the chors sitting in govt.
