STOP FOR APPLICATIONS FOR TAXI DRIVING LICENCES
The Transport Department has announced that it is reluctantly forced
to stop accepting applications for taxi driving licences from Monday, October 23.
From August 1 to the present, over 1,400 of these licences have been
issued and there are 8,000 applications pending.
A department spokesman said as it will take over a year to process
this waiting list and as there are more than enough licensed taxi drivers to
meet demand, there is no point in continuing to accept applications.
An announcement will be made when applications can be accepted again,
he added.
