Despite an order it cease operations with immediate effect as announced yesterday, the Dego Ride motorcycle taxi service appears to be still available here today.
A check by Bernama found the service was running as usual - at least the one booked by a reporter with the national news agency.
Having booked a trip from Jalan Tun Razak to the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC), a rider pulled up on a blue motorcyle and handed over a helmet for the trip.
Asked about the halt order for Dego Ride, he said: "I've not received any feedback on this from the operator of the service. So, I just carry on as usual."
He said the service was in high demand as it helped city dwellers to commute around the city easily amid traffic jams.
The one-way fare to KLCC that took a mere seven minutes was RM2.50, while the 15-minute return trip by taxi cost RM15.
