Application for stage carriage permit
AI Assist
Summary
An application for a stage carriage or reserve stage carriage permit must state key particulars: the route(s) or area(s), type and seating capacity of each vehicle, proposed minimum and maximum daily trips with a timetable, number of reserve vehicles, and arrangements for housing, maintenance, passenger comfort and luggage storage. It must also include any other prescribed particulars and be accompanied by the prescribed documents so the licensing authority can decide on the permit.
Example
Priya runs a small inter-town bus service and applies for a stage carriage permit. Her application lists the route, each bus type with 40 seats, proposes 8 to 12 trips daily with a timetable, shows two reserve buses and the garage and luggage arrangements, and includes the prescribed documents. Because she supplied the required particulars and papers, the licensing authority can proceed to consider her permit.
