The Transport General Authority (TGA) in Riyadh has penalized three expatriates for operating private vehicles as unlicensed passenger transporters. The penalties, totaling SR 35,000, included deportation from Saudi Arabia for all three individuals. The Egyptian national and Indian national were fined SR12,000 each, while the Chadian national received a fine of SR11,000 for attempting to transport passengers unlawfully.
TGA officials stressed that transporting passengers without a valid license is a clear violation of regulations. The authority promised to continue monitoring and enforcing compliance in the sector to improve transportation service quality and passenger safety. The Land Transport Law makes it unlawful to operate without the necessary licenses, and permits deportation as a penalty for non-Saudi violators.
The TGA encouraged passengers to utilize licensed transportation services and facilities, urging them to seek legally available transportation options.
