| 摘要： | Today's transport industry is well-inhabited with various 'gatekeeper' organisations which are appointed (or self-appointed) to ensure compliance with legal and quasi-legal requirements, including FORS, CLOCS and Earned Recognition, through DVSA, for operators that go beyond the minimum measures required for legal operation by maintaining a very high standard in safety-related vehicle maintenance and drivers' hours recording and compliance. In a remarkable outbreak of good sense, coach industry voluntary body the Guild of British Coach Operators, is moving to align its engineering standards audit process with what is applied by DVSA for Earned Recognition in the passenger sector. The Guild was established back in 1985 as a way in which a small number of highly professional coach operators could differentiate themselves from competitors in a market where cost often trumps quality in the eyes of consumers. Many coach hires and contracts are 'won' by the lowest bidder, and questions about quality and value for money (as opposed to price) are only raised by the hirer if something goes wrong, or passengers complain about the poor state of the vehicle. |
