The transport businessmen have demanded the immediate cancellation of the regulations related to ride sharing (regulation and management) brought by the Gandaki state government. Gandhiraj Giri, Secretary of Public Transport Central Federation, Gandaki, said that the regulations brought against the Union Government's Transport Act should be repealed.

He said that it is not appropriate for the states to rush to legalize ride-sharing without amending the Transport Act.

'The order of the Supreme is to the Union Government. Not to the province. The union is under discussion," he told Kantipur, "there is no rush for the remaining 6 provinces. He warned the government that if the regulations are not repealed, the agitation program will be continued.

They suggested that it would be appropriate not to take this matter forward until the Union Act is passed, but the government ignored it, he said. Kedar Poudel, president of the National Federation of Nepal Transport Professionals, Gandaki, said that they are not against ride sharing, but it is not right for private vehicles to carry passengers on rent.

Public vehicles have now also been given red plates. Why take so much trouble. The tax will be slightly higher. When we have private property, we will follow the same way," he said. He said that the next step will be decided after the meeting of the Federation. 

Section 8 of the Vehicle and Transport Management Act 2049 stipulates that private vehicles cannot be used for transport services and Section 12 stipulates that vehicles used for one purpose cannot be used for another purpose. Transport businessmen have been raising voices that they should not rent vehicles with red number plates by showing this system. 

Provincial Government Minister of Economic Affairs and Spokesperson Dr. Takaraj Gurung says that the rules have been brought based on the decision of the Supreme Court in June last year. He said that the ride-sharing that is in operation has been legalized by making regulations to regulate it. The

was going on even though it was not legal. When sporadic incidents happened, the state became innocent. "Regulations have been made to regulate," he said. He said that the government committee will determine/review the fees that the ride-sharing and rental vehicles can charge from the service users. After the implementation of the regulations, the provincial government estimates that the revenue will be up to 1 crore rupees per month. 

The Supreme Court ordered ride-sharing to be regulated on June 13, 2008. The full text of the judgment passed by the then Chief Justice Vishwambhar Prasad Shrestha and Judge Tek Prasad Dhungana was made public last December.

full text The Union Government was instructed to quickly implement the necessary legal provisions for the registration, operation, management and monitoring of transport service businesses such as ride-sharing. 

The provincial government had prepared to bring a procedure to legalize ride sharing in July last year. After learning about this issue, the transport business started a protest. They did not operate public transport.
