period, maintain to the satisfaction of the Commissioner a proper
and efficient public bus service.

(2) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1), the

under subsection (4) shall be submitted to the Secretary for Trans-
port by the Commissioner.

shall, without prejudice to subsection (5), continue in force until it is
superseded or it expires, whichever is the earlier.

from time to time be altered by mutual consent of the Commissioner
and a grantee and such alterations shall be submitted to the
Secretary for Transport by the Commissioner and upon such
submission the programme shall continue in force as altered.

ment on any point in a programme prepared by a grantee under
subsection (1) in any year, or-fail to mutually agree any alterations

the Commissioner shall determine the fares which may be charged for
the carriage of passengers, baggage and goods on such altered route or
temporary service, and such fares shall be based on the appropriate
scale of fares determined under subsection (1)(a):

Provided that the Commissioner shall not reduce the fares on a
specified route under this subsection where the reason for the
temporary alteration arises out of circumstances beyond the control of
the grantee. (Replaced, 44 of 1984, s. 9)

(3) Where circumstances require a public bus service to be

(a)on any day at a frequency greater than that specified in a

application approved under section 16A,

the Commissioner may by notice in writing to the grantee permit the
grantee to charge an increased fare for the carriage of passengers,
baggage and goods on such route during such operation of a public
bus service, and such increased fare shall be based on the appropriate
scale of fares determined under subsection (1)(a) to which may

not exceeding the rate of increase determined under subsec-
tion (1)(b). (Replaced, 44 of 1984, s. 9)

(4) A grantee shall not charge any passenger-

(a)a fare exceeding the fare determined in accordance with the
appropriate scale of fares determined under subsection

ble, the increased fare permitted under subsection (3).

(a)have available a sufficient number of buses for use on the
new route and all existing routes; and
