Operating a bus service: apply for a CTQ permit
Choose the transport category, prepare the application and distinguish the permit from heavy-vehicle registration.
The transport permit and registration in the heavy-vehicle owners and operators register are separate obligations.
Choose the category
Describe the planned service and choose the corresponding form: charter, subscription, intercity or another applicable category. Check requirements before offering service. [1]
Submit a complete file
Attach the documents listed in the form and required payment. Check heavy-vehicle registration and prepare any clarifications requested by the Commission. [1]
Follow the authorization
Check the service actually authorized. During operation, the driver must carry the certificate, a copy or the Commission’s decision. [2]
Manage changes
Changing schedules, frequency or discontinuing service may require notices and a CTQ process. Check the category-specific rules before announcing a change. [2]
