GAUTENG HANDS OVER 150 OPERATING LICENSES 


The Gauteng Department of Roads and Transport today handed over more than 153 operating licenses to compliant public transport operators during a ceremony held in Marshalltown, Johannesburg

This handover forms part of the provincial government’s ongoing programme to clear the operating licences backlog and stabilise the public transport sector. To date, the Department has issued over 700 operating licences since the beginning of September 2025,a clear demonstration of government’s commitment to strengthening regulation and improving service delivery to both operators and commuters. MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela emphasised that the handover represents significant progress in restoring order and improving compliance in the sector. “Today is not just about handing over licenses, it reflects our determination to rebuild a licensing system that is transparent, efficient and fair. 



Our focus is on bringing services closer to operators and ensuring they are delivered within clear and reliable timeframes,” said MEC Diale-Tlabela. MEC Diale-Tlabela has also issued a firm call to operators with outstanding vehicle documents to submit the required documents by 15 December 2025. “Failure to comply will result in the operating license applications being rejected. We expect operators to honour the rules of the road, provide safe and reliable services, and contribute to a public transport system that the people of Gauteng can trust. 

This partnership is key to building a stable, modern, and accessible transport network,” she added. 

The Department will continue implementing targeted measures to eliminate the remaining backlog and strengthen the regulatory framework to ensure a safer, reliable and efficient public transport environment for all Gauteng residents.
