Are you saying these minibuses are unsafe to be on the road? If so the Police can take them off the road.
If you are saying that new regulations have been brought in to enhance the safety of minibuses that is different altogether.
If new regulations have been brought in and they are retrospective then I agree you need to allow a reasonable amount of time for people to modify there minibuses.
Please can you explain more about this. I am very keen on seat belts on all vehicles. I think buses should have seat belts and that no one should be allowed to travel on a bus without a seat belt. We have all seen the TV adverts where the back seat passenger kills the front seat one - it must be the same on a bus.
