Explanatory Note

These Regulations further amend the Public Service Vehicles (Registration of Local Services) Regulations 1986.

By section 6 of the Transport Act 1985, particulars of local services are required to be registered with the traffic commissioner for any traffic area in which there is a stopping place for that service.

The fee for an application to register particulars of or vary the registered particulars of a community bus service, other than a service provided under an agreement providing for service subsidies, remains unchanged at £10.

The fee for an application to register particulars of a service in any other case is increased from £30 to £38 and the fee for an application to vary the registered particulars of such a service is increased from £27 to £38.

These fees were last increased in 1988.
