A series of novelties were introduced in the Transportation Operating License that will come into force on September 20, and which point towards greater control of the functions, scope and obligations of its holders, whether they are citizens, national or foreign enterprises established on the island.<\/span><\/p>\n

Published on Monday, August 20, in the <\/span>Gaceta Oficial<\/span><\/i> number 78, Resolution 140\/2024 of the Ministry of Transportation, the new Transportation Operation License (LOT), repeals the previous resolution established since 2021.<\/span><\/p>\n

The regulations will apply to Cuban citizens with effective residence in the national territory, to permanent foreign residents and to national and foreign legal entities based or authorized to establish themselves in the country, the <\/span>Granma<\/span><\/i> newspaper<\/b><\/a> explained\u00a0in its digital edition this Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n

The document maintains its non-transferable nature and is issued to those interested in providing passenger transportation services, cargo and auxiliary or related services.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of its modifications is the validity time of the licenses: For one year for assistance services and practical or theoretical-practical driving lessons and three years for the License Certificate of the legal entity and for the worker hired by an individual, in correspondence with the validity of the license of the holder.<\/span><\/p>\n

The possession of the license is mandatory to provide services in ship administration; ship consignment agency and chartering; reservation and sale of travel tickets; cargo; freight forwarding; express and rental services.<\/span><\/p>\n

Likewise, its use is unavoidable for those who operate means of transportation; public parking or vehicle parking; passenger manager at taxi stand; transportation management service; and driving lessons.<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, passenger transportation services must have a space enabled for accompanied luggage, to the extent that the structure of the means of transportation allows it; while legal entities must have the certification of no debt with the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the case of individuals, it is added that for high comfort or classic passenger transportation services, belonging to the management model of the Taxis Cuba Enterprise, only one worker can be hired as a driver.<\/span><\/p>\n
