NTSA directed that all the affected drivers undergo re-testing before they can return to service.
It also instructed the operators to conduct road safety awareness training for all their drivers and present selected vehicles for inspection.
The Authority said the re-testing is part of its wider effort to make sure every driver has the needed skills to operate safely on the road.
NTSA added that more operators remain under review to confirm full compliance with road safety rules.
It noted that these steps reflect its continued focus on protecting passengers and other road users during the festive season.
“These actions highlight our firm and ongoing commitment to road safety, particularly during this festive period,” the Authority stated.
