According to the qualitative study through interviews, the interviewees wanted to develop technology for justice make Grab a legal career. Additional rules and regulations should be established to be in line with the form of calling passenger car services through the application so that unfair business practices can be controlled and minimized. Moreover, there should be cooperation between Grab and the government in supporting the start-up operators to generate their income in order to improve the quality of life of the people in Thailand.
