Policies target underserved areas and cut paid transport
The Public Transport Regulation Authority has announced the start of implementing the principles and conditions for granting licenses and permits for passenger transport services to underserved areas, effective from the beginning of next week. This initiative aims to improve citizens' access to public transportation services and reduce reliance on private vehicles for hire. The principles focus on addressing service shortages, facilitating the licensing application process, and defining the criteria for underserved areas based on high operational costs, low supply, service disruptions, the remoteness of the area, or difficulty in reaching it. The procedures involve reviewing applications, assessing needs, and issuing licenses valid for one year, renewable. Additionally, financial support may be provided through the Passenger Transport Support Fund if revenues are less than costs, with the goal of promoting the sustainability of transport services and achieving better regulation in underserved regions.
