These Regulations are made partly in consequence of the Public Service Vehicles Accessibility Regulations 2000 (SI 2000/1970 – “the 2000 Regulations”), which imposed new accessibility requirements for disabled persons (particularly those in wheelchairs) to single-deck and double-deck buses and coaches, and partly in order to apply certain provisions to all public service vehicles on account of the fact that on a voluntary basis more vehicles are being made accessible to disabled persons. Accordingly, amendments are made to the Public Service Vehicles (Conditions of Fitness, Equipment, Use and Certification) Regulations 1981 (SI 1981/257 – “the 1981 Regulations”) to update certain provisions and to provide certain alternative provisions in line with the 2000 Regulations so as to provide for consistency between the requirements under the 1981 Regulations and the provisions that now apply to and regulate new public service vehicles under the 2000 Regulations.
