The government just axed retesting rules for bus and taxi drivers. Officials removed the mandatory retesting requirement for public service vehicle operators. Transport Minister Felix Mhona announced the change, informing law enforcement agencies that the rule is no longer enforceable. PSVs include buses, taxis, and shuttles that carry paying passengers on set routes.
The state also reviewed fees charged by several transport agencies. These include the Central Vehicle Registry and the Vehicle Inspection Department. Mhona urged all drivers and transport operators to still follow every other road regulation. He stated the government wants a modern and business-friendly regulatory framework for transport.
Operators can now use a revised and streamlined fee structure. The minister emphasized continued compliance with all remaining laws. The policy shift aims to reduce bureaucratic hurdles for the industry. Authorities remain focused on maintaining road safety standards through other enforcement measures.
