To be frank about all this, is it not the legislation tself, which creates the problems for all of us?
If we had a true single-tier legislative system based upon a level playing field concept (I mean, how big an issue is the difference btween a nine seat and a eight seat vehicle?), then we would all know where we stood and be able to compete faily.
well 2 things here, the difference between the two vehicles is one seat,
and that one seat extra is the difference between vat and no vat, and the capacity changes from 4 couples to 4 and a half couples.
if there is an accident very serious 1 more person stands to die or be seriously injured in one bus than the other.
there has to be a divide somewhere and european maxi taxis are 8 seats.
