Changes relating to vehicles
A number of changes are taking place and can be read in detail at NSW Transport Operators FAQs as a downloadable PDF document.
Security requirements
Where they are currently required to do so, taxi operators are still required to ensure that the taxi is fitted with a vehicle tracking device, a duress alarm, and security cameras. They must be kept in good working order.
If the operator fails to meet these requirements they will face increased penalties.
- The on-the-spot fine will be increased from $300 to $400.
- The maximum court-imposed penalty will increase from $1,100 to $5,500.
