The Maputo City Council, led by President Rasaque Manhique, has launched a free training program for 120 semi-collective passenger transport operators. The initiative includes free professional and public service vehicle license endorsements. This program is part of a wider municipal campaign to provide mass, free licensing for these operators. The goal is to regularize the activities of informal transport providers, improving adherence to traffic laws and enhancing passenger safety. City officials view the training as a key step towards professionalizing urban public transport. The program aims to simplify access to the legal requirements needed to operate legally within the city.
