KATHMANDU: Chair of the Public Transport Central Federation, Dr. Dolnath Khanal, has said that operating ride-sharing services using private vehicles without black number plates is illegal under current Nepali law.

Speaking at the inauguration ceremony of the electric bus service launched by Mahanagar Yatayat Pvt. Ltd., Dr. Khanal stated that the federation continues its agitation against ride-sharing platforms that operate outside the formal public transport system.

“Running ride-sharing services using privately registered vehicles is a violation of the law,” he said, emphasizing that such practices pose a threat to the regulated public transport industry.
