30K: Application for transport service licence

You could also call this:

“How to ask for permission to run a transport service”

If you want to apply for a transport service licence, you need to follow certain rules. You must fill out your application following the regulations and rules set by the government. You might also need to pay a fee when you apply, if the rules say so.

It’s important to know that you can’t apply for or have a transport service licence if you’re not allowed to. This means if you’ve been told you can’t have one because of something you did wrong, you’ll have to wait until you’re allowed to apply again.

Remember, these rules are there to make sure transport services are safe and follow the law. If you’re not sure about anything, it’s a good idea to ask someone who knows about transport rules to help you.
