The Transport General Authority (TGA) in Riyadh has issued a warning to parents regarding the selection of transport operators for the upcoming academic year. The authority stressed the critical importance of choosing only those operators who are duly licensed and authorized to provide educational transport services, given the paramount concern for student safety.
Parents are advised to utilize the regulated and licensed transportation services available, accessible through various means. The TGA cautioned against engaging with unlicensed operators, warning that their practices could potentially endanger the safety of both male and female students.
The regulatory body highlighted that licensed buses are easily identifiable through specific features. These include a yellow plate, a stop arm located on both sides of the bus, a customer service contact number, and the display of the license number, operating card number, and bus number on both the front and rear of the vehicle.
The TGA remains vigilant in its oversight of the educational transport sector as the new academic year commences. It is committed to ensuring adherence to all relevant laws, regulations, and requirements, actively monitoring for any violations and promptly implementing necessary regulatory measures to uphold the highest standards of safety and compliance.
