On Monday, March 9, the National Transit Agency (ANT) in Ecuador resumed 155 public procedures, attracting around 20 people waiting in line outside its headquarters in northern Quito. The agency announced that nine services would be reinstated across the country, although some branches in Mejía and Cayambe remain temporarily closed. This decision marks a gradual reopening of services after a suspension that impacted many drivers and vehicle owners throughout the nation.

Despite the resumption of various services, the ANT clarified that the processes for updating personal data and the issuance or renewal of driving licenses are still on hold. These specific processes are undergoing technical testing and requirements validation, which the agency expects to conclude by Friday, March 13. This suspension affects individuals seeking to obtain or renew their driving licenses, creating a backlog for many who are eager to complete these essential requirements.

The partial reactivation of services is part of the ANT's broader strategy to restore normal operations following disruptions. The agency provided notices at its main office detailing the controlled return of their AXIS 4 system, highlighting the need for safety and technical readiness as they proceed. The infrastructural tweaks and necessary adjustments reflect a cautious approach to resuming full service, ensuring process integrity and compliance with updated regulations.
