Staff Shortage Threatens 'Pame Express' Service – Plans to Attract Drivers and Protect Licenses

The operation of the 'Pame Express' service is threatened due to a shortage of drivers. The Ministry of Transport is considering various solutions to attract professional drivers, such as lowering the age limit for obtaining a professional license and collaborating with the Ministry of Education to create relevant training programs. The contracting company assures that it will keep the service running for at least two months, awaiting a comprehensive proposal to solve the problem. Proposals on the table include hiring drivers from third countries and changing the law for the professional license.
