View answerThe regulation of the small public service vehicle industry, including the administration of SPSV licences and the area knowledge test, is a matter for the National Transport Authority (NTA) under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013. I have referred your question to the NTA for direct reply. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
