The National Transport Authority (NTA) has responsibility for the regulation of the taxi industry under the provisions of the Public Transport Regulation Act, 2009 and is also the lead agency for implementation of the recommendations of the Taxi Regulation Review Report 2011,  including Action 32 of the Review Report concerning the Smartphone App for driver verification.

I have forwarded your Question to the NTA for direct reply. If you do not receive a response within ten working days please notify my private Office.
