Bus Stands.

Often we come across with application for approval of bus stands.
Bus stands can be classified into four categories namely A B C D . The details are available in the First Schedule attached with the Tamil Nadu Motor vehicles Rules.

But how to grant approval for bus stands.

The local authority, i.e. either corporation or municipal officers shall apply to the Regional Transport Officers stating the need of the bus stand and also its location, the number of bays that are available and along with other facilities available and also the classification they require.

Together with they should give a blue print of the structures proposed to be erected with the approval of the Director of Town and Country planning .

We should call for the report of the motor vehicles inspector about the bus stand and after inspecting if the inspector gives a report satisfied with the facilities and his recommendation about the class of the bus stand, we have to circulate the file to the Regional Transport Authority for approval.

The approval is valid for three years.

The fee that the local authority can collect for a single vehicle is as follows.
Class A:Rs.15 Class B : Rs.12/- Class C: Rs.8 and Class D: Rs.5/-
