New Taxi Regulations: Mandatory Registration for Licenses

In a significant shift, the Transport Ministry has announced new regulations for taxi services, mandating that all vehicles must be registered with taxi centers to qualify for a taxi license. This decision, detailed in the latest Government Gazette, requires drivers to provide documentation confirming their vehicle's registration.

The amendments also revoke previous rules that allowed drivers to operate without registering with a taxi center or a garage. These changes are part of ongoing reforms aimed at addressing customer complaints about overcharging and improving overall service quality. The latest updates follow earlier changes to taxi fares and additional regulatory amendments, emphasizing the ministry's commitment to enhancing the taxi industry.
