1456.0. "How many people?" by KERNEL::LOAT (Keep passing the open windows...) Tue May 28 1991 14:56

    
    Okay, I'm organising a little outing to the London-Brighton bike ride,
    but we're getting a bit stuck for affordable transport to London, and from
    Brighton.
    
    A coach with a driver seems to be a little expensive, so I thought what
    about a coach/minibus without a driver, and get a nice kind collegue to
    drive.
    
    However, I don't know the rules about who's allowed to drive what
    carrying how many people, so I thought that here would be the best
    place to ask.
    
    How many people can a driver take in a minibus without needing a
    special licence? (PSV?)
    
    Steve.

	17 people including driver. The driver must be 21 or over from a legal point ov view, although most hire places insist the driver is over 25 from an insurance point of view...

	Re .3 � Okay, I'm organising a little outing to the London-Brighton bike ride, � but we're getting a bit stuck for affordable transport to London, and from � Brighton. How about cycling? I just knew someone was going to say that! Re .4 The train works out quite expensive, and takes quite a long time to get from Brighton. Lets hope the PR people come good.
1456.6	Sponsership - that's the answer!	TRUCKS::SMART	When you're in a hole, stop digging!	`Wed May 29 1991 12:07`	10
	If it's for a charity why not ask some local coach/bus company to sponser you by providing the transport? if there are 26 of you and your bikes you will need a pretty big bus! Talk to your Facilities Manager - he will know the local "friendly" bus people. Good luck. ?Is this really Cars_UK??
