Product Description

Anyone who transports passengers for reward in South Africa, including minibus taxis, buses, shuttles, metered taxis and e-hailing drivers on platforms such as Bolt and Uber, needs an operating licence under the National Land Transport Act. Provincial services apply to the Provincial Regulatory Entity (PRE) on Form 1B, which is also the form for e-hailing licences. We complete Form 1B and the supporting documents, lodge the application with the PRE and follow it up. You sign the application and attend if the PRE calls a hearing. The PRE application fee is paid separately. Interprovincial and tourist services apply to the National Public Transport Regulator instead; ask us if that applies to you.

What's Included
