Hunsinger, Mr CH to ask the Minister of Transport

What total number of taxis in Gauteng are registered (a) on the eNatis system with the Road Traffic Management Corporation and (b) with the Provincial Legislature Transport Department on the Register Admin System?

Reply:

a) The operating license information is stored on the Department’s Operating License Administration System (OLAS). According to OLAS the total number of taxis with valid operating licenses in Gauteng is:

  • Minibus Taxis = 31 723
  • Meter Taxis including ehailing = 7087.

The data on OLAS is also on the eNaTIS because for a taxi to acquire an operating licence it must have been registered on eNatis and have a vehicle licence.

b) The Registration Administrative System (RAS) is utilised to register taxi associations, their members and vehicles. The same number of operating licenses appearing on OLAS for Gauteng operators is captured on the RAS
