The National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) has suspended Super Metro Limited’s operator license.
In the suspension announced today, their license can only be activated when the company fully complies with the Public Service Vehicles Regulations, 2014, and other set conditions.
In an official notice dated Thursday, March 20, NTSA further cautioned members of the public against boarding vehicles belonging to the SACCO.
“This is to notify the public that the Authority has suspended Super Metro Limited’s operator licence until the Company fully complies with the Public Service Vehicles Regulations, 2014, and other set conditions,” the notice read in part.
Traffic police were also instructed to impound vehicles belonging to the company that are operating contrary to the suspension.
According to NTSA, it conducted a comprehensive analysis of Super Metro and found that out of its 523 vehicles, 15 had expired inspection certificates, and eight had expired Road Service Licences (RSL).
NTSA also found that several drivers from the SACCO do not meet the required qualifications which presents a major safety risk.
