The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry, including enforcement and compliance in the SPSV sector, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.

Given the role of the NTA as regulator and its statutory independence in that regard, I have referred your question to the Authority for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
