Identification

From 5 April 2021, operators must display their accreditation or registration number on their buses.

Requirements are defined in the Bus Safety Regulations 2020, S.R. No. 102/2020.

The accreditation or registration number must be displayed:

  • next to the front passenger loading door
  • in a position and colour that is clearly visible from outside the bus
  • in characters at least 50 mm high and of proportionate width.

How do I create my identification number?

You have a few options:

  • Have professional stickers made.
  • Buy adhesive letters and numbers to combine into a neat sticker.
  • Print the identification number and tape it inside a window facing out.
