5.6 Operating Licence Strategy
5.6.1 Purpose of OLS
The primary purposes of the OLS developed from analysis of the CPTR data
are:-
� to act as a framework for the eThekwini Transport Authority (ETA)
to give direction to the Operating Licence Board (OLB) on the
issuing/amendment or withdrawal of taxi or bus operating licences.
� to provide a tool for the ETA to implement the requirements of the
Public Transport Plan.
5.6.2 OLS Policy
No. 1 The responsibility for determining the number of public transport
licences required vests with the Transport Authority.
No. 2 As per the requirements of the NLTTA 2000, no new operating
licence will be issued for a period longer than five years, except
where the licence is issued pursuant of a permit allowed for in terms
of provincial legislation, as in the case of a seven year subsidised
bus contract.
