Losing ground in taxi sector, big companies want to 'drive' motorbike taxis

Mai Linh Mien Bac Joint Stock Company (Code MLN - UpCOM) plans to consult shareholders in early October to approve the addition of the business line "Passenger transport by rickshaws, pedicabs, and motorbikes".

Previously, Vinasun taxi company also said it was researching the market to develop an online motorbike taxi service to increase competitiveness and retain customers by the end of this year.

The above move by major taxi companies can be seen as a "counterattack" against the massive attack of taxi calling services Uber and Grab.

Notably, since the beginning of the year, Mai Linh has had 6,000 employees (equivalent to 20%) resign. At the same time, Vinasun has also reduced its workforce by nearly 8,000.
