Championing a Transformed, Inclusive and Sustainable Taxi Industry
OUR MANDATE
SANTACO’s mission is rooted in transforming the taxi industry into a reliable, efficient, and formalised component of South Africa’s mobility network. By prioritising safety, modernisation, and economic empowerment, SANTACO seeks to uplift its members and provide commuters with high-quality transport services. Through strategic partnerships, innovation, and advocacy for fair subsidies, the organisation aims to build a sustainable industry that serves operators, commuters, and the broader economy.
SANTACO’s values serve as the foundation of its identity, guiding its actions, decisions, and relationships across the public transport sector. These values reflect our commitment to professionalism, safety, empowerment, inclusive representation, and broader economic participation. They define not only what we stand for, but also how we operate — ensuring that our members, partners, and commuters experience a transport industry that is principled, progressive, and people-centred
