Route Inspectors at the Transport Authority (TA) have been instructed to utilise only wreckers from a list of approved companies to provide towing services for vehicles that are seized for breaches of the Transport Authority Act.
Chairman of the Transport Authority, Owen Ellington, explained that participating wrecking companies are expected to abide by a fee structure which has been agreed on by the relevant stakeholders.
Mr. Ellington was speaking against the background of a major concern raised by members of the Public Passenger Vehicle (PPV) Steering Committee about apparent racketeering among wrecker operators.
He highlighted that the Authority met with the police and stakeholders from the steering committee.
