lency the Governor-General of the Dominion of New Zealand, acting by and with the advice and consent of the Executive Council of the said Dominion, doth hereby revoke the Motoromnibus (Constructional) Regulations, 1926, the Motoromnibus (Supplementary) Regulations, 1927, and the Motoromnibus (Constructional) Amending Regulations, 1927, published in the New Zealand Gazette of the twenty-first day of December, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six, and the twenty-sixth day of May, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, and the thirteenth day of October, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven respectively, and doth hereby make the following regulations in amendment thereof or in substitution therefor ; and doth hereby declare that this Order in Council shall come into operation on the first dav of June, one thousand nine hundred and twentyeight. REGULATIONS. General Provisions. 1. These regulations may be cited as the Motor-omnibus (Constructional) Regulations, 1928. 2. In these regulations, unless the context otherwise requires, “ Body ” includes all that portion of an omnibus designed to seat the passengers, driver, and conductor (if any), and to protect them from the weather : “ Chassis ” includes all that portion of an omnibus exclusive of the body and body fittings : “ Omnibus ” means a motor-omnibus as defined by the said Act: “ Seat ” includes a single seat or a row of seats adjoining one another, whether divided by sides or not: “ Wheel-track ” means the distance between the centres of the off-side and near-side wheels of a pair of wheels, and, when a pair of wheels consist of twin wheels on the off-side and twin wheels on the near side, means the distance measured along the axis from the centre of the off-side twin wheels to the centre of the near-side twin wheels : “ Continuous-cross-seat omnibus ” means an omnibus which is fitted with seats the greater number of which cross the full width of the body and from which for at least every other row of seats a doorway is provided. 3. (1) Every omnibus licensed under the said Act at any time before the Ist day of August, 1927, shall comply with the conditions and requirements contained in Part I of these regulations. (2) Every omnibus first licensed under the said Act after the Ist day of August, 1927, shall, save as hereinafter provided, comply with all the conditions and requirements of these regulations (whether contained in Part I or in Part II hereof). (3) Every omnibus which is required to be licensed under the said Act by reason of the addition to the area of a motor-omnibus district or the constitution of a new motoromnibus district subsequent to the Ist day of August, 1927, shall comply with the conditions and requirements of Part I of these regulations unless it is licensed for the first time later than nine months after the addition to or constitution of the motor-omnibus district as aforesaid, in which case it shall comply with all the conditions and requirements of these regulations (whether contained in Part I or in Part II hereof). 4. (1) The Minister of Public Works may in special circumstances, and subject to such conditions as he thinks fit to impose, grant exemption in respect of any omnibus from the provisions of any of these regulations, and may extend such exemption so that it may be applied at the discretion of the Inspecting Engineer to all omnibuses of the same make and model plying under similar conditions. (2) Application for such exemption shall in every case be made by the owner (or intending owner) of the omnibus to an Inspecting Engineer of a motor-omnibus district within which the omnibus is operating or proposes to operate, and shall state fully the grounds on which exemption is sought. The application shall state the name of the maker or makers of the omnibus, the chassis number, the engine number, the seating-capacity, the registration number under the Motorvehicles Act, 1924, and any further particulars that the Inspecting Engineer may require. (3) On receipt of an application for exemption, the Inspecting Engineer shall consider the same, and, if in his opinion it is frivolous or is based on trivial grounds, he may dismiss it without reference to the Minister.

(4) The financial circumstances of the owner shall not be a ground for application for exemption under this regulation. 5. For the purpose of the Motor-omnibus Traffic Act, 1926, an Inspecting Engineer may, at his discretion, make a report that an omnibus is in a fit condition to be licensed as an omnibus, save that certain requirements of these regulations

require to be fulfilled, and in such case shall, by his certificate, state such requirements and fix a time limit or limits within which all or each of such requirements shall be complied with. The licensing authority may thereupon, in pursuance of the said report, issue a license in respect of the omnibus, subject to the condition that the said requirements be fulfilled within the said time limit or limits.

6. Every person who, for the purpose of these regulations, makes any statement or supplies any information that is false or misleading in any material particular, or who otherwise than in accordance with an order of exemption made under clause 4 hereof, or permission in terms of clause 5 hereof, uses for the purposes of a motor-omnibus service any omnibus that does not comply with the provisions or requirements of these regulations, shall be liable to a fine of £lO.

PART i. Regulations applicable to all Licensed Motor-omnibuses. Doorways. 7. (1) There shall be fitted to each omnibus at least two doorways for entrance and egress, one of which shall be situated at least 7 ft. distant from and, if not at the extreme end of the omnibus, on the opposite side of the omnibus to the other doorway or the most remote one of any other doorways.

(2) One of the doorways need not be used save in cases of emergency, and, if intended for use only in such cases, shall be fitted with a door (hereinafter referred to as the “ emergency door ”) kept securely latched until it is required to be used. The device for opening the emergency door shall at all times be capable of ready operation, and if such device includes a removable key shall be permanently fixed by a chain fastened within 18 in. of the keyhole. The keyhole shall be situated not higher than 4 ft. from the floor. In omnibuses fitted with an emergency door a conspicuous notice directing attention to the emergency door, and clearly indicating the means for opening it, shall be displayed inside the omnibus, towards the front thereof. Every emergency door shall be kept free of all obstruction outside the omnibus.

(3) A passage-way to the doorway or doorways in general use shall at all times be kept free and unobstructed, and if a passenger-seat is in the way of an emergency door the seat shall be readily removable in case of emergency.

Towing. 29. No omnibus shall be used for the carriage of passengers when, owing to accident or breakdown, it is in such condition that it is required to be towed by another vehicle. Lockers. 30. Suitable lockers, not more than two in number, containing two efficient jacks and other appliances necessary, in the opinion of an Inspecting Engineer, for cases of emergency, shall be provided in each omnibus, and the owner of such omnibus shall provide for the efficient tuition of the driver and conductor (if any) in the use of such jacks and appliances. Loading. 31. (1) The fact that in the opinion of the Inspecting Engineer the chassis of any omnibus is carrying, or in service is likely to carry, a greater load than it was designed by the makers, regularly and continuously, to carry, may be a ground for refusal by the Inspecting Engineer to make a report in terms of Section 6 (3) of the said Act that the motoromnibus may be licensed for the carriage of passengers, or may be a ground for the making of the said report only subject to certain conditions being complied with in respect of the omnibus. (2) Save with the written permission of the Minister of Public Works upon the recommendation of the licensing authority by which the omnibus is licensed, the maximum number of passengers permitted to be carried by any omnibus, in terms of the condition in that behalf to be contained in any license issued in respect of such omnibus, shall be not greater than four-thirds of the number of passengers for which seating-accommodation is provided, or the maximum number of seated and standing passengers for which the Inspecting Engineer reports the omnibus to be fit to carry, whichever is the lesser. (3) It shall not be lawful for any person to operate an omnibus, or for the owner of any omnibus to permit the same to be operated, unless the words “ Licensed under the Motor-omnibus Traffic Act, 1926, to carry passengers ” (stating the maximum number of passengers to be carried according to the terms of the license), are legibly painted or affixed in some permanent manner in a conspicuous part of the interior of the vehicle, and unless the seated and standing passengers carried on .the omnibus do not exceed the number stated in the said notice. (4) Clause 4 of Regulation 21 of the Motor-omnibus (Licensing) Regulations, 1926, is hereby revoked. (5) It shall be a condition of every license issued in respect of a motor omnibus (whether such condition be inserted in the license or not) that no standing passenger shall be allowed to travel on the driver’s platform or forward of an imaginary line drawn at right angles to the length of the omnibus across the back of tho driver’s seat and for the full width of the vehicle. Motor-vehicles Act Requirements. 32. No omnibus shall be considered to bo in a suitable condition for the carriage of passengers unless all the requirements of the Motor-vehicles Act, 1924, and its amendments, and any regulations for the time being in force thereunder in so far as they affect the omnibus, have been fulfilled. Inspection. 33. (1) For whatever purpose the omnibus is presented to the Inspecting Engineer for inspection, it must on each such occasion be presented in a thoroughly clean condition in all parts.

2— P.G.

(2) A fresh report shall be obtained from an Inspecting Engineer in terms of Section 6 (3) of the said Act before a license for another period is granted in respect of any omnibus that has previously been licensed, whether by the same or any other licensing authority.

(3) The doorway or doorways generally in use shall be on the near side of the omnibus. Seats. 35. (1) Every seat must provide for each passenger at least 16 in. in width, measured in a straight-line along the front edge of the seat, and not less than 14 in. in depth from the said front edge horizontally to the back of the seat. The distance from the floor covering to the top of the seat must be not less than 17 in. For the purposes of this clause, any cushion or other covering shall be deemed part of the seat, and for computing the width, depth, and height of a seat, the cushion or other coverings shall be uncompressed. (2) No seat may be so situated that when occupied it will be likely to cause obstruction in the ordinary entrance and exit of passengers. (3) When cushions are provided for seats they must bo covered with leather or other material of good class and quality. (4) Every seat must be so constructed and placed that each passenger shall have at least 9 in. clear space forward from the vertical plane of the edge of the seat.

(5) Every seat must be provided with a back and be kept fit, comfortable, and convenient for use. Passageways. 36. From each doorway of the omnibus (other than an emergency door or emergency doors) to each row of seats adjoining one another or to within 5 ft. of any separate seat there shall be a passageway not less than 15 in. in width, and free throughout from structural projections or obstructions. In the case of a continuous-cross-seat omnibus the said passageway must be along the full length of each row of seats adjoining one another. Dimensions. 37. (1) Above the exposed floor area, and for a distance of 8 in. on each side of the longitudinal centre-line of the body of the omnibus, the height from the top of the floorcovering to the roof or extension thereof shall not be less than 6 ft., clear of obstruction and exclusive of projections of any kind, including lighting fittings. (2) The maximum width of each omnibus (including projections of any kind, temporary or otherwise) shall not exceed 8 ft., and no part of the omnibus or of its equipment or load shall be more than 4 ft. from the centre-line of the wheeltrack. (3) The maximum length of an omnibus, including fitings, attachments, and load, shall be 28 ft. (4) The body of any omnibus shall not overhang its rear wheel-track by more than 1 ft. 3 in. on either side. (5) The wheel-base shall in all cases be so proportioned that skidding, pitching, swaying, or other improper movements shall be avoided as far as possible. (6) The length by which the body overhangs the axis of tho rear-wheels of an omnibus, herein referred to as “ the overhang,” shall not exceed two-fifths of the total length of the wheel-base, provided that in no case shall the overhang exceed 6 ft.

(7) For the purpose of this regulation, wheel-base means' the distance from the middle point of the line of axis of the foremost pair of wheels on an omnibus to the middle point of the line of axis of the rearmost pair of wheels : Provided that, in the case of those omnibuses fitted with two rear axles (and their relative wheels) placed closely one behind the other, the rear commencing-point of measurement of the wheelbase and the overhang shall he taken from the middle "point of a line drawn from one rear-wheel axis to the other. Body. 38. (1) Every motor-omnibus shall be fitted with a permanent body made of wood, steel, or other similar endurable material approved by the Inspecting Engineer.

(6) Sufficient hand-rails, hand-straps, or hand-grips must be provided for the convenience and safety of passengers when standing in or moving along passageways. (7) Every omnibus shall be fitted with glass side-windows of which at least one-half the total number shall be capable of being readily opened and closed. All window-openings shall be guarded for a distance of 4 ft. 6 in. from the floor with bars or netting, or by other means, so that a spherical body 5 in. in diameter cannot be passed through any opening within the said distance. (8) The omnibus must be so constructed that sufficient ventilation is provided by means other than the ordinary windows. Special ventilating-windows may be fitted, provided that, if accessible to passengers, they shall comply with the provisions of the last preceding subclause relating to guards, and provided also that suitable provision is made for the reduction of drafts to a minimum. Lighting. 39. (1) While carrying passengers at any time when by law the omnibus is required to be lighted, the interior shall, subject to the provisions hereinafter set out, be illuminated with electric light on the basis of a minimum of five candlepower to every five seats. When owing to paucity of passengers or the requirements of safety or other proper circumstances it would temporarily not be reasonable to meet the foregoing requirements, all or any of the internal lights, save that referred to in subclause (5) hereof, may be switched off by the driver. (2) The lights shall be so distributed that the doorways and steps shall be clearly illuminated while in use, and so that light is well distributed throughout the interior of the omnibus. (3) No single fight shall be less than eight candlepower. (4) Lamp-fittings shall be of a substantial nature, so that passengers will be protected as far as possible from breakages.

(1) Steps for the assistance of passengers in entering and alighting from the omnibus must be placed to all outside doorways (except emergency doors) which do not reach within 16 in. of the surface of a level roadway. Steps must be safe and convenient, and sufficient means must be provided by grip-handles to assist passengers using them.

(2) The distance of the lowest step above the surface of a level roadway must be not more than 16 in. with the omnibus unloaded or less than 10 in. with the omnibus loaded, and the tire worn to its maximum. The rise between one step and the next shall not be greater than 12 in. The treadingsurface of any step must not be less than 8 in. from front to rear. Every step shall be provided and maintained with a suitable covering or tread-plate to prevent slipping, and must be of the one continuous level for its full width. Miscellaneous Fittings. 41. (1) Buffers of a cushioning type to ameliorate injuries to the omnibus or passengers in the event of collision must be provided along the front of every omnibus. (2) The omnibus must be so constructed, or side guards or other approved appliances must be fitted, so that, save for any necessary steering-clearance, persons are protected from falling under the vehicle from the sides. (3) Mechanical devices, approved by the Minister and efficient by day and by night, must be provided on every omnibus to indicate to road users and controllers of traffic when the omnibus is about to turn to the right or left, and to warn vehicles in the rear when the omnibus is about to stop. General Chassis Requirements, 42. (1) The springs shall be of ample strength and shall be so designed, constructed, and secured that when the omnibus is travelling either fully or partially loaded it shall afford reasonable comfort to passengers under average conditions of its service and route. (2) The wheels must not be so heavy or so equipped that more than reasonable strain is placed upon the steering-gear. (3) For the protection of pedestrians from front collision and at the discretion of the Inspecting Engineer, having view to the conditions of the proposed routes, every omnibus shall either have a clearance for the full length of the vehicle, and, for a width corresponding to the transverse distance between the tires, of at least 10 in. vertically from a level roadway to the nearest part of the chassis when the omnibus is fully loaded, or be provided with a front protective guard, approved as being sufficient and satisfactory by the Inspecting Engineer. Where the former alternative is adopted, protective rails or other approved devices must be provided to prevent the rear wheels from running over any person who may be prone and underneath the omnibus. (4) When ball and socket joints of steering-connections are used the longitudinal or transverse rods, as the case may be, must be supported by the ball. (5) The chassis shall have a maker’s designed carrying capacity for regular and continuous passenger service such that the total weight of the body and of any load that the omnibus is, in the opinion of the Inspecting Engineer, likely in service to carry, including such standing passengers as are allowed in terms of Regulation 31, shall be not more than four-thirds of the said designed carrying capacity. Plans and Specifications. 43. The Inspecting Engineer shall be supplied before inspection of the omnibus (and preferably before construction of the body) with the maker’s specifications and other data, covering the design, strength and weight of the chassis, gear ratios, revolutions of engine when running at normal speed, and, when possible, steering-mechanism ratios. Similarly, plans drawn to scale and specifications shall be supplied showing all important dimensions and covering the design, strength, and quality of materials for the body and fittings, and also there shall be supplied the weight of the body, or if the body is still under construction the estimated weight thereof.
