The Federation of Public Transport Sector (FPTS) is urging the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) to implement mandatory periodic retraining and retesting for public service vehicle (PSV) drivers, as outlined in the National Road Safety Action Plan 2024-2028.

• The demand follows a recent tragic incident involving a Super Metro vehicle and a passenger's death.
• FPTS advocates for the immediate implementation of the plan's recommendations, including those for passenger protection and crew conduct.
• They also push for the adoption of technology to monitor and record accidents, citing the need to eliminate examiner bias in driver testing.
