The Act

Part 3 – Bus Services

Bus services improvement partnerships

Variation or revocation in accordance with the terms of a partnership scheme – inserted section 3B(10)

147.As part of a partnership scheme, a local transport authority and operators may decide to include provision for the scheme to be varied or revoked if certain conditions are met or events occur. For example, a scheme could provide that it will be revoked (or become revocable) if the number of users of the service do not meet the specified expectations within a certain time period. In this situation, the scheme will set out what is to happen and what process is to be followed.

148.The Scottish Ministers may make regulations under section 3M about the types of situations where this method of variation and revocation is available (or not available) and the process which may or must apply.
