National Land Transport Act, 2009 (Act No. 5 of 2009)

Chapter 6 : Regulation of Road-Based Public Transport

Part 2 : General provisions

67. Charter services

 

(1) An operating licence may authorize the holder to undertake pre-booked charter services in the areas or zones as specified by the entity granting the operating licence, which may or may not be in addition to other services authorized by that licence.

 

(2) If the operating licence specifies an area for picking up passengers such a vehicle may—
(a) leave the area or zone described in the operating licence if, on the return journey, it is to carry the same passengers that it carries on the outward journey or if the vehicle is to return to that area empty; and
(b) pick up passengers outside that area or zone if the fare is pre-booked and the passengers will return to such area.

 

(3) Where application is made for an operating licence for vehicle hires with drivers as charter services, the entity granting the operating licence must evaluate whether the services should rather be provided as metered taxi services, and, if it grants the application for a charter service, should attach appropriate conditions.
