Gauteng’s Roads and Transport MEC, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela, has announced a new technology-driven system for public transport operating licenses, intended to modernize regulations and eliminate application backlogs. This initiative is a key focus of the Gauteng Public Transport Crisis Committee, which includes minibus taxi associations and other transport sectors. The committee has already approved thousands of applications and issued hundreds of licenses since its formation.
The updated system is designed to streamline the licensing process, improve data accuracy, and reduce operational disputes by digitally recording routes and operators. Authorities expect these technological improvements to enhance service delivery and safety for commuters across all transport modes, including e-hailing, buses, and taxis. This reform aligns with recent amendments to national land transport legislation.
