MOTOR OMNIBUS SERVICES (AMENDMENT) ORDINANCE 1977
MOTOR OMNIBUS SERVICES REGULATIONS
MOTOR OMNIBUS FARES REGULATIONS
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
No. 2 of 1977

When school bus fares were reintroduced in September 1976 no provision was made for a cash fare for school children and this created a major problem for many parents.

The amending Ordinance and two amending Regulations provide for a cash fare of 10¢ for a journey on any omnibus between the hours of 7am and 5.30pm on school days for journeys to and from school and for the discontinuation of the sale of concessional books of tickets for school journeys.

The legislation provides for unused tickets contained in concessional books of tickets already issued to school children to continue to be honoured.
