The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has issued new regulations mandating stricter compliance for public service vehicle (PSV) drivers and operators. The directive emphasizes ensuring the safety and professionalism of the public transport sector.

• All PSV drivers must ensure their vehicles, crew, and routes comply with safety standards, with significant fines for violations including picking up/dropping off passengers at unauthorized stops.
• Key organizations involved are the NTSA and the Transport Ministry.
• The new requirements cover vehicle licensing and maintenance, crew qualifications and supervision, business registration and management, authorized routes, and passenger service standards.
