Section 72 of MVA : Section 72: Grant Of Stage Carriage Permits

Explanation using Example

Imagine a local bus company, "CityTransit," wants to operate a new bus service in a particular region. They submit an application to the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) for a stage carriage permit, specifying the routes they plan to serve, the type of buses they will use, and their proposed timetable.

The RTA reviews the application and decides to grant CityTransit a stage carriage permit with certain conditions, such as:

• CityTransit must start operations by a specified date.
• The buses are only permitted to operate within the city limits and on the routes mentioned in the application.
• A copy of the approved timetable must be displayed on each bus and at designated bus stops.
• CityTransit is required to maintain a certain standard of comfort and cleanliness in their buses.
• Fares charged to passengers must align with an approved fare table, which must be displayed on the buses.

CityTransit agrees to these conditions and begins operating their bus service, providing the community with a new public transportation option that complies with the RTA's regulations.
