Ramaphosa enables e-hailing services to obtain operating licenses

VAAL TRIANGLE - President Cyril Ramaphosa has signed the amended National Land Transport Act into law, allowing e-hailing service operators to apply for operating licenses like other public transport operators. Transport minister Sindisiwe Chikunga welcomed this milestone, ending a 13-year wait for legislation to accommodate e-hailing services. Department of Transport spokesperson Collen Msibi says the new regulations will soon be finalised and implemented, moving e-hailing services away from interim charter permits to official operating licenses.
