obtained through transfer or assignment or a combination of
both.
Taxi-cab operators must be accredited by the Department of
Transport. Once granted, the accreditation lasts for a period of 5
years. During this time the operator must work to the minimum

Taxi-cab operators undertake the following:
- Maintain the taxi-cab, ensuring that it is roadworthy at all
times.
- Comply with all legislation relating to the operator's
business.
- Ensure all fitted equipment and devices are in sound working
order.
- Ensure each driver has a bailment agreement and understands
that bailment agreement.
- If they the operator has a licence assigned to them, they must
meet the conditions of that licence.
