Special license for Grab/ PassApp drivers?

Someone mentioned that a driver can't sign up with these services without a special license. Any idea what the license is?

Special? Or just having one, a real one, their own, valid.

How many zeros? $$; That many.

Possibly, I don't know what kind of licence passenger drivers need.

When the 3 wheelers were first introduced it was decided that a motorbike license wasn't enough, the official reason being the gears and brakes worked differently. There were mass training sessions held at the time. I don't think the the license related to the paying passenger carrying, but things may have changed.

I don't actually have epilepsy, I just wanted to steer the thread into a more serious direction. 😆
