The Transport Secretariat of the Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) has released more guidelines for passenger service (commercial) vehicles, operating within the FCT. Kayode Opeifa, the Transport Secretary of FCTA, stated this in Abuja on Monday after a meeting with all the Licensed Taxi Operators. According to him, all passenger service (commercial) vehicles such as High Capacity Buses, Mini/Mid Buses, Taxis, Tricycles and Motorcycles must carry red number plates. “All passenger service (commercial) vehicles must be registered in Abuja and must carry FCT number plate with effect from Oct. 1, 2018. “All Taxis operating within the FCT must be air-conditioned on or before Oct. 1, 2018. “All passenger service (commercial) vehicles must carry two (2) valid certificate of road-worthiness from FCT Computerised Roadworthy Test Centre issued in the last 9 months,’’ he said. Mr. Opeifa said that drivers of all passenger service (commercial) vehicles must be in possession of a valid driver’s licence and must be certified by the secretariat in line with relevant FCT Regulations. He added that owners of the Passenger Service Vehicle (PSV) must show evidence of tax payment in the FCT. He noted that all Taxis with Operators’ Licence were allowed to operate in any part of the FCT, including all estates, hotels and government establishments. “The Taxis with Operator’s Licence are allowed to pick and drop off the road when properly parked and not willingly obstructing traffic within existing traffic regulation. “Tricycles are to operate only at the designated routes as approved and assigned to the particular operator by the transportation secretariat. “Tricycles and Motorcycles are to be operated only by riders with valid FCTA issued Riders Card,’’ he said. He said that all commercial vehicles including High Capacity Buses, Mini/Mid Buses, Taxis, Tricycles and Motorcycles are advised to visit the nearest Department of Road Traffic Service (DRTS) office for necessary Documentation and Certification. The Secretary warned that henceforth, issuance of Operator’s Licence would be suspended till further notice. According to him, also, existing operators are not to admit/register any new commercial vehicle into their fleet. “All currently registered corporate operators are to provide the Secretariat with a list of all vehicles operating under its corporate name on or before Friday, April 13, 2018 for ease of administration, road-worthiness, inspection, safety and security purposes’’ he directed. https://musbizu.ng/abuja-taxis-must-air-conditioned-october-fcta/?utm_source=&utm_medium=twitter

At whose expense? The ordinary man hardly able to feed will eventually bear the cost as operators now have a valid reason to increase transportation cost. |

There is poverty of resources There is poverty of policy There is poverty of shame Did you buy the cars for them? Unless we are in some kind of banana Republic (moot point actually) air conditioning in commercial vehicles should not be legislation but left to market forces and competition. The drivers source vehicle purchase finance at different interest rates due to different personal credit assessments. So unless the FCTA ab initio procured air-conditioned vehicles for the drivers under some sort of agreement, this is just plain silly Don't even get me going on the 'before October 1st' issue 1 Like |
