✈️ 🚕 Only sedans and larger vehicles now allowed for app-based pickups at BIA?


⭕ 🇱🇰 AASL has restricted app-based taxi pickups to sedans and larger vehicles, barring smaller cars from the terminal area according to Dailymirror.
⭕ Passengers must now walk outside the terminal to meet drivers of small vehicles, causing issues for elderly and solo travelers.
⭕ Taxi firms say the rule limits cheaper ride options and affects night-time and low-cost travel demand.
⭕ Parking access was briefly revoked for non-compliant drivers but later restored with strict vehicle type conditions.
⭕ App services suspect 🇱🇰 AASL’s this restriction was influenced by pressure from traditional taxi groups seeking to limit competition.
