Some voluntary operators of minibuses and, in a few cases,
larger buses, are able to carry fare-paying passengers under
certain restricted conditions without the need of having a
passenger carrying vehicle (PCV) licence. Mini Bus Permits (Section
19 Permit) for voluntary and non-profit making organisations are
issued by the Department of Transport.
Further information about regulations concerning taxis and
private hire vehicles can be found on
the Public carriage Office pages of the TfL
website.
