| Content | Improving the development of the tour bus industry is still an important item for the Directorate General of Highways. According to Article 86-1-6 of the Regulations for Vehicle Transportation Industry Management, “the tour bus industry shall establish regular management data and self-inspection checklists. Operators shall implement checks, and provide detailed data in cooperation with the competent highway authority’s regular safety audits or evaluation”. Specialized teams are regularly commissioned to conduct evaluations of the tour bus industry.
Evaluation items include vehicles, drivers, and company management. Of which, the vehicle management portion includes the vehicle maintenance system, overall vehicle performance, vehicle safety, and pre-driving safety check. The driver management portion includes work hour management, a driver rewards and punishment system, driver training, driver management system, and driver violations. The company management portion includes violations of highway regulations, use and management of onboard recorders, liability accidents, violations of road traffic management regulations, vehicle assignment forms, scale of the vehicle fleet, whether approved parking spaces are sufficient, accident processing mechanism, advanced vehicle fleet management equipment, passenger accident liability insurance, and complaint processing.
The Directorate General of Highways will continue to improve various driver, vehicle, road, and operator-related management measures. The tour bus evaluation system will be used to guide operators in establishing their brand image. The Directorate will also work with the industry to improve the domestic tour bus industry development and maintain tour bus safety.
