How EU regulation 181/2011, which relates to the rights of bus and coach passengers, will be applied in Great Britain.

This consultation ran from
18 July 2012 to 11:45pm on 11 October 2012

Consultation description

Summary

The EU regulation on bus and coach passenger rights will apply in all Member States from 1 March 2013, primarily to long-distance regular services 250 kilometre or longer. Whilst the EU regulation is directly applicable, Member States remain responsible for making decisions on several important issues. This public consultation therefore focuses on the use of available exemptions, enforcement arrangements and designating terminals where guaranteed assistance is provided to disabled passengers.
