operators does not identify specifically where the action has been as a result of
failing to meet safety standards. The following data shows the number of public inquiries
that were heard in relation to bus and coach operators where regulatory action was
taken. This data is therefore where operators have failed to meet “licence” standards,
such as financial standing, repute, undertakings as well as those relating to vehicle
and driver safety standards.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Financial
