Over 6,000 Public Transport Operating Licences Require Renewal

Over 6000 public transport licences must be renewed in Gauteng, but only less than 500 applications are processed. According to Section 25 of the National Land Transport Regulations, licences must be renewed 30 days before expiration. The Citizen reports that existing licences remain valid if the Provincial Regulatory Entity hasn’t issued a renewed licence. The deadline for licence renewal is July 31, 2023.
