Mr Saksiam Chidchob, Minister of Transport, revealed that the rider group had submitted a request to the Ministry of Transport, asking the application service provider GrabTaxi (Thailand) Co., Ltd. to solve the problem, “Grab” will stop providing Grabbike ( Win) service, he has handed over the policy to the Ministry of Land Transport (KhorBor.) to expedite the resolution of the issue. But operations must be through the app following the terms of service, and motorcycle taxis must not provide services that lead to illegal behaviour.
Mr Sak Siam said the land transport policy, which gives open legal registration to all vehicle owners, allows land transport to extend the mandatory period from the original service, which must be stopped from July 15 and extended for no more than 60 days from July 16. At the same time, the 60-day period of land transportation must establish the files of motorcycle owners, and those who require the provision of public services must register and be handled by the regulations of the Ministry of Land Transportation. This regulation will aid the control of public service providers. Further, the land transport extension plan for not more than 60 days will be submitted to the Land Transport Commission for approval.
“Because some drivers currently use private or unregistered motorcycles to serve the public. There are currently about 10,000 motorcycles, including food delivery and passenger services. Therefore, land transport must get a legally license during the extended grace period. Those drives are planned to be a public service career; they must be legalised. If done well, it will be more systematised. It is illegal to recognise that the grace period has passed, and it is illegal to use a private vehicle for service.”
A group of riders on private motorcycles (black label) and public motorcycles (yellow label) filed a claim. Mr Chiruit Wisanchit, Director General of the Ministry of Land Transport (Khor), revealed that land transport had been discussed with representatives. I also invited Mr Worachat Lakkanaroj, Executive Director of GrabTaxi (Thailand) Co., Ltd., to consider guidelines to help legal professionals. The goal is to organise public motorcycles so all groups can work within the legal framework. Fair to all parties and in line with the way of life in today’s Thai society.
To gain a clear understanding of the plight of rider groups and to take steps to address the issues of affected individual motorcycle riders (black label). the Ministry of Land Transport opens the registration for the Individual black label motorcycle drivers to provide passenger transportation services through the application systems. Drivers can register electronically through the Google Form “Register Affected Riders” between June 27 and July 26, 2022.
This information will be considered by the Bangkok Committee when it is due to pass the application and systematically organise motorcycles, which includes the Bangkok Ministry of Land Transport and other relevant obligation agencies to manage public motorcycles (yellow label), and consider making public Guidance for private motorcycle (black label) drivers who want to register as public motorcycles (yellow label) must apply for entry into the legal system within the specified time.

In addition, there will be an accelerated understanding of each application service provider’s platform to improve applications to comply with the conditions set by the Ministry of Land Transport. For drivers to equitably pursue their careers within the legal framework, during this period, the registration of drivers of the Ministry of Land Transport is open, and all platforms can receive clear information about the breakdown. Discuss with relevant agencies if the Ministry of Land Transport has written to Grab to consider discontinuing the Grabbike (win) service within 30 days, i.e. the service will expire on July 15. To address the issue of using service providers and drivers, the Ministry of Land Transport will consider extending the deadline so that the driver group can follow the resolution of the legal process. The above planning is to have professionals who ride public motorcycles work together. Make it clear that these services must be performed lawfully and fairly for the best benefit of all parties.
