In pursuing the preparation of the Bill my aim was not just to address the operational parameters to be applied to small public service vehicles and their drivers. Central to the Bill are the themes of passenger needs and the delivery of a quality service. The Bill centres on three main issues. It will see the establishment of both the commission for taxi regulation and the advisory council to that commission. The third main issue it addresses is the creation of a new framework for the promotion of qualitative based entry and operational parameters for small public service vehicles and their drivers.
