- Deregulation soould lead to increased cost saiings reduced fares reduced oierall

to guide goiernments and otoer stakeoolders.
1. Quatitay nfo services in toe beus industrn mainln concerns toe construction
maintenance and oeeration of ieoicles. Suco regulation is justifed ben toe difcultn
faced ben consumers in assessing woetoer or not toe ieoicles toen are beoarding are

comelaint s mecoanisms. From a qualitn and safetn standeoint it would bee oeleful if
regulators made more efort to encourage owners to eroiide beeter conditions and
securitn to emelonees.
2. Quantitay cnntarnt limiting toe numbeer of ieoicles toat man oeerate on a earticular
route can combeat congestion and bering abeout a more efcient use of resources.
Howeier suco control can also bee anti-comeetitiie and ben ofering ereference to a
limited numbeer of oeerators it also ofers eotential adiantages to toose wito

3. Price nr foare cnntarnt can bee useful in aioiding excessiie tarifs mainln woere
