The National Transport Safety Authority (NTSA) has said it will publish the list of the newly licensed Transport Network Companies (TNC) on Wednesday, November 30.
In a statement on Wednesday by the Authority's Director General George Njao, NTSA said since its notice of registration on October 3, it has received six applications.
"...and they are at the validation stage prior to licensing of successful applicants," Njao added.
In the notice issued earlier in the month, NTSA had invited all current and prospective Digital Hailing Companies who were in need of getting licensed as TNCs to submit their application by October 17.
This followed a workshop held by the Ministry of Transport in collaboration with all stakeholders, to implement the operationalization of the TNC, Drivers and Passengers Rules, 2022.
NTSA also urged the taxi companies and their drivers to familiarise themselves with the rules which took effect on June 20.
The gazettement came after customers raised concerns about their physical and financial safety.
It was established that some taxi drivers took longer routes in a bid to charge more fares.
In a regulation document, the former Transport CS James Macharia warned them, saying they were liable to a fine of Sh20,000 or six months in jail.
