| Post subject: | Post Bus question.. |
Just noticed a Post bus in my area, as im mostly a Rural PH its got me to thinking How come its legal for a small ASTRA Sized post van with a row of seats to allow it to carry 4 Passengers to be used as a Post Bus if it isnt " destination or route number Signed" like a Scheduled Bus service would have to be, in reality its a Cross between a Taxi, PH and a post van, I guess it can pick up anywhere on its postal route either by being waved down or maybe pre booked. If it were the other way round would a Bus, taxi or PH be able to Act as a post van?. Seems most unfair to me that these vehicles run by the Post office can steal Customers away from Rural Taxis and PH,s and we cannot then compete on a level playing field because of it... |

The post office hold an operators licence (or more than one) and have to register routes etc with the traffic comissioner. They usually are in very rural/remote area's where a normal bus sevice or taxi service would unviable. http://www.royalmail.com/portal/rm/cont ... aId=500084 |
