Taxi operators get another chance to collect operating licences this week ahead of deadline
Roads and transport MEC to host licence handover ceremonies this week before uncollected operator licences become invalid on Friday.
Gauteng's roads and transport MEC has given taxi operators a final chance to collect their approved operating licences before the 14 August 2026 deadline. In a push to improve public transport regulation, MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela announced that the Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport will host special operating licence handover ceremonies in Gauteng.
These ceremonies aim to ensure compliant public transport operators collect their approved operating licences before the deadline. MEC Diale-Tlabela urged operators to attend the ceremonies to collect their licences, as failure to do so may result in administrative processes being taken against them. The handover ceremonies are scheduled to take place from 12 to 14 August 2026 in various regions across the province.
MEC Diale-Tlabela highlighted that the initiative is part of the department's ongoing commitment to improving the efficiency of public transport regulation and ensuring compliance with the law. By attending the designated ceremonies, operators can secure their licences and continue operating legally in accordance with the National Land Transport Act.
