More than 500 scholar transport providers gathered at the Gauteng roads and transport departments head office in Johannesburg on Monday to raise concern about delays in obtaining operating licences.
The meeting, at 45 Commissioner Street, highlighted long-standing issues that have made it difficult for many operators to formalise their services.
Roads and transport MEC Kedibone Diale-Tlabela addressed the crowd and acknowledged the legitimacy of concerns raised and pointed out that there were gaps in information regarding the application process and required documents.
