Two public service vehicle (PSV) permits obtained illegally have been revoked, while 14 will be suspended for a number of infractions, including operators not running the entire route.
This was revealed yesterday by Transport Authority chairman Ian Estwick, who said their disciplinary subcommittee decided to take the action to help put the brakes on violations of their Code of Conduct.
“The revocations were for the sale and purchase of permits. As a result, we have become more vigilant concerning the applications for the transfer of permits from one person to another,” he said. He however did not reveal the particular routes involved.
In terms of the suspensions, which will run from November 1 to 30, Estwick said the authority’s attempts to reason with some permit holders had not borne fruit. (CA)
