We pride our selves on being a transparent business. So here are some statistics from the Travel Manager platform.

In the last 3 months of 2007 we have had :-

  • 1894 customer accounts created
  • 264 employees detailed entered
  • 165 vehicles entered
  • 61 MOT’s / services scheduled
  • 735 private hire quotes generated
  • 1019 defect sheets created
  • 263 bus services activated
  • 107 tours created
  • 819 updates (change of quote details, customer details etc.) on the above within this period.

If each of these pieces of work simply save 3 minutes of time (in looking up details, making changes, making sure jobs are covered etc.) for operators then we have helped them collectively save over 730 hours of their precious time.

Personally I think 3 minutes is on the conservative side for many operators moving from paper based systems to a fully automated computerised on. Therefore, I think we can do considerably better over the next 3 months icon smile Some statistics...

There are over 130,000 drivers working in over 6,000 UK bus and coach companies today. The majority of these companies are owner / driver businesses with less than 10 employees.

Also re-iterates the point about new EU directives coming into force:-

“A new EU Directive comes into force on 10th September 2008, which states that new PCV drivers will need to gain a Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) as well as the PCV licence. It is known as the Driver CPC. Existing PCV drivers will be able to gain the CPC through periodic training.”

Learn Direct has a great site which details everything you need to know on becoming a bus / coach driver or a road transport manager.
