RIYADH: The Saudi Transport General Authority identified 635 people for providing unlicensed transport services to passengers at the Kingdom’s airports in July.

The crackdown was part of a wider campaign in collaboration with the Ministry of Interior and other authorities. The aim is to improve the safety and quality of services provided to travelers, reduce illegal activity, and promote the use of licensed transport services.

The authority stressed that those found guilty of providing transport services without a license to do so at an airport face a fine of up to SR5,000 ($1,333) and having their vehicle seized.
