KUALA LUMPUR: Puspakom, the computerised vehicle inspection centre, is confident it will be able to complete inspection of taxi meters three months ahead of the Jan 1 deadline.
Its chief operations officer, Raja Mahmud Raja Datuk Ibrahim, said that as of Aug 1, Puspakom had inspected 82% or 22,450 taxi meters.
Taxis with recalibrated meters will be allowed to charge the new fare effective from that date.
Puspakom said in a statement that inspection of taxi meters were being carried out at all branches except in Sabah, Sarawak and Penang.
“Inspection of taxi meters in Negri Sembilan has been completed while the remainder of the taxis in the Klang Valley and Johor will be inspected before October.
“In fact, we can complete the entire inspection within 10 days if the taxi owners bring in their vehicles to Puspakom branches in the Klang Valley and Johor Baru,” he added.
Raja Mahmud said Puspakom only charged RM10 to inspect a taxi meter and operated its centres between 8am and 9pm daily and up to 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
