The regulation of the small public service vehicle (SPSV) industry is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009. I have referred the details of your question to the NTA for a direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
