Gauteng hands over 550 licences to compliant transport operators

The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport has recently issued over 550 operating licences to compliant minibus taxi and scholar transport operators within a week, as reported by SABC News. The licences were handed over during ceremonies in Johannesburg and Tshwane, bringing the total number of valid licences issued by the department since November last year to more than 3,000.

Lesiba Mpya, the Department's Spokesperson, highlighted that this progress is part of ongoing efforts to clear outstanding applications and ensure that compliant public transport operators can operate legally and safely. Operators who missed the handover ceremonies are encouraged to visit the TOLAB office associated with their application submission to verify their application status and arrange for licence collection, ensuring they possess the necessary documentation for safe and legal transportation of passengers.
