83 Demand responsive services—guidelines for giving
authorisations
(1) The Minister may approve guidelines for the giving of authorisations
to operate demand responsive services.
(2) The guidelines may make provision in relation to—
(a) the kinds of public passenger services that may be operated
under demand responsive service authorisations, including, for
example, matters in relation to—
(i) hours of operation; and
(ii) routes and areas of operation; and
(iii) kinds of passengers that may be transported; and
(iv) accessing of services by passengers; and
(b) the kinds of vehicles that may be used to operate demand
responsive services.
(3) The guidelines must provide that the Minister must not give a person
an authorisation for a demand responsive service if the operation of
the service will have an adverse impact on the viability of an existing
regular route service.
(4) Approved guidelines are a disallowable instrument.
