The regulation of the small public service vehicles (SPSVs) industry is a matter for the independent transport regulator, the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the Consolidated Taxi Regulation Acts 2013-2016. I have no role in the day-to-day operations of the sector.
As your question relates to a specific company, I have referred it to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within ten working days.
