"The board has taken its step, having received charges of bus operating without road permits, to seriously look at the next step of impounding buses. That is to say, having received a charge of operating a bus without a road service permit, you should cease operation. Many of these buses continue to operate and the board has examined the situation where they continue to operate and has taken the decision to impound buses that are now operating, having received a charge for appearance in court and we expect that that impoundment will be enforced by the enforcement part of the department. It is expected that these buses will come off the road by choice of the owner. If that does not occur, then the impoundment order will take effect. And that impoundment order is for any period, from the summons have been issued to the time the court makes its determination."
