More than 400 operating licences remain uncollected in Gauteng, prompting MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela to urge public transport operators to collect them before the August 14 deadline.
Public transport operators in Gauteng who fail to collect their operating licences by August 14 risk having them cancelled and may have to restart the application process, the provincial Department of Roads and Transport has warned.
The warning applies particularly to minibus taxi and scholar transport operators who have already applied for and been issued operating licences but have not yet collected them.
The department said more than 400 valid operating licences remain uncollected despite significant progress in reducing backlogs and improving internal processes to speed up the issuing of licences.
Gauteng MEC for Roads and Transport Kedibone Diale-Tlabela urged operators not to delay collecting their licences.
