Better prospects from getting PSV licence

THE deadline for all e-hailing drivers to possess a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licence is July 12. The Public Service Vehicle (PSV) module for training e-hailing drivers was made available at 211 approved driving academies and e-hailing centres nationwide on April 1.But instead of rallying drivers to register for training and prove to the Transport Ministry that the waiting list go far beyond the deadline, many e-hailing operators have prematurely called for an extension to the July 12 deadline.

A few disclosed that some of their drivers had already closed their accounts and collected all payments due to them. If this is true, the mentality of these drivers is suspect because they could still continue until the deadline.
