Bus Operator Escapes Maximum Financial Penalty for Non Compliance at Traffic Commissioner’s Public Inquiry

Efforts to improve compliance, investment in roller brake equipment and more administrative support to monitor bus timetable
compliance were part of the evidence that Murray Oliver used to help this Bus operator at Public Inquiry. A
robust challenge was made to the DVSA evidence on Bus Timetable compliance which helped the Traffic
Commissioner to reduce the financial penalty to £3,900 from the statutory Maximum of £7150, which was very much under consideration, and make an order that this money should be spent on improving bus service compliance.
