The Transport Licensing Appeals Board ordered Super Metro to fire 269 drivers following a hearing with the National Transport Safety Authority. Super Metro must also send 31 vehicles with compliance problems for inspection at the Likoni Motor Vehicle Inspection Centre. The company needs to submit reports to the NTSA afterward. Another 42 vehicles caught speeding require retesting at the driver test facility. Eight more vehicles with speed limiter violations need compliance checks.
Super Metro must provide minutes from driver safety training sessions to NTSA officials. The tribunal upheld the earlier suspension of operations until the company met all requirements. Officials scheduled a follow-up meeting for April 17 to verify compliance. Just before this ruling came out, Super Metro had announced a three-day service pause. The company claimed it had already achieved 90 percent compliance with previous directives.
NTSA originally suspended Super Metro operations on March 20 over road safety concerns. The tribunal temporarily lifted that suspension days later, allowing buses back on streets. This latest ruling reverses course, keeping vehicles parked until safety issues receive proper attention. Transport officials appear determined to enforce regulations despite the company's claims about improvement. The widespread dismissal of drivers signals serious concerns about safety practices.
