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.
