I don't know how P2P legislation specifically affects these buses, but for normal buses/coaches:Passenger 57 wrote:By that definition so are taxisboronia wrote: They are carrying passengers "for hire and reward", so would have to be legally "buses".
.The majority(?) of STA buses no longer have MO plates (much to my disappointment). How do parking officers determine whether a bus not carrying STA, MO, or MOO plates is allowed to park in a bus zone?Maybe they should be on m/o or TV plates?
There is no defined route for many of these trials. Some don't even include stations as hubs.As that station would be part of their "route" they would be legally entitled to park there and wait.
1. Taxis are defined in another part of the legislation. Buses are supposed to have a minimum number of seats; used to be 8 or 9 in NSW
2. ST plates are a special form of m/o plates. Regardless of the plates, to be a bus in NSW, it should be displaying accreditation details. Unaccredited bus vehicles are not permitted to use bus zones. Do these buses carry the same accreditation as other buses?
3. No defined routes, but I think there are defined areas to which they are restricted. That would include hubs, regardless of their form.
