New Online Service Launched to Find Bus Operators and Check Licences
The Office of the Traffic Commissioner (Licensing) has launched a new online service. It enables the public to find bus operators by name, address, or licence number. This service complements the fortnightly publication 'Notices and Proceedings', which lists operator licence applications.
The 'Notices and Proceedings' publication is issued every two weeks. It's a crucial resource for those interested in public service vehicle operator licence applications. Subscriptions can be made by contacting the Office of the Traffic Commissioner (Licensing).
For those who wish to raise objections against an operator or need guidance for traffic commissioner hearings, detailed information is available. Additionally, email alerts can be signed up for to receive notifications when vehicle operator licensing content is published or updated.
The new service also allows registered local bus services to be found by operator name, licence number, or start and finish point. This is particularly useful for passengers planning their journeys. Police and local authorities can also use this service to check if operator licence applicants meet legal requirements and, if necessary, raise objections.
The new online service and the 'Notices and Proceedings' publication provide comprehensive information about public service vehicle operator licence applications. They enable the public, police, and local authorities to stay informed and engaged in the licensing process. The service is a step towards greater transparency and accountability in public transport regulation.
