# The City of Cape Town and Western Cape’s Provincial Regulatory Entity are rolling out a two-phase plan to renew and issue new licences for metered taxis and e-hailing operators. A recent review indicated a demand shortfall of over one-thousand-100 licences. Expired licence holders must reapply by 30 June. From 1 July, 840 new licences will be open to first-time applicants who must meet strict requirements, including vehicle inspections.
