The attention of passengers is drawn to the following conditions of carriage which apply to the
issue by us (East Yorkshire Motor Services Limited), or our agents of any ticket
for carriage aboard any bus or coach operated by us.
-
Tickets
1.1 Passengers, on paying the correct fare, will be issued a ticket, pass,
warrant, magnetic card or smart card showing the amount they have paid and the
period of validity of such a ticket, pass, warrant, magnetic card or smart card.
1.2 The acceptance by a passenger of a ticket, pass, warrant, magnetic card or
smart card issued by us or our agents in exchange for the payment of any
applicable fare shall be held to constitute a contract between you and us on the
terms of these Conditions of Carriage.
1.3 Where a concessionary pass has been issued to you, a contract has been
entered into between us and the issuing authority for your benefit
pursuant to these Conditions of Carriage.
1.4 On issuing a ticket to you it is important that you check the details
contained in the ticket are correct immediately on receipt including the fare
paid, the date of travel, the destination recorded as well as any monetary
change given to you . In the event of any discrepancy it is important that you
bring this to the attention of the ticket issuer immediately as we cannot
rectify any errors made at a later date.
1.5 It is the duty of every passenger to retain their ticket until the
journey for which the ticket was issued has been concluded and to allow any
company official of EYMS to inspect your ticket at any time during your journey.
1.6 Where ordinary return tickets are offered, they are normally available
between the same stage points as the related single fare. A return ticket may be
used over the whole or part of the route for which it was originally issued but
is not valid for two single journeys in the same direction of travel. Return
tickets will only be issued from the boarding stage of the outward journey.
1.7 No single or return ticket issued by us guarantees travel on any particular
vehicle or at any particular time and no accommodation is reserved on any of our
vehicles at the time of paying your fare.
1.8 We operate our vehicles on a first come first served basis and shall have no
liability to you whatsoever if you cannot travel due to the fact that the
vehicle you did intend to travel on is already full to capacity.
1.9 Unless otherwise indicated, return tickets issued on the bus are “day returns”
valid only for a single return journey on the date of issue.
1.10 No passenger shall attempt to use any ticket, pass, warrant, magnetic card
or smart card issued by us or our subsidiaries or agents which has been:
(a) altered or defaced;
(b) issued to another person unless such ticket bears thereon an indication that
it is transferable;
(c) issued for a different journey or on a different date and/or time;
(d) has expired; or
(e) is illegible.
1.11 No refund will be made for lost, stolen or defaced return tickets. It is
the responsibility of the passenger to ensure that the return portion of the
ticket is valid on the vehicle that they intend to use.
1.12 Passengers should be aware that it is a criminal offence to use altered or
counterfeit tickets with the intention of deceiving employees of EYMS. Where we
suspect such deception is intended or has taken place then we shall have no
hesitation in informing the police and seeking the prosecution of any offence.
-
Payment of Fares
2.1 Where a CHILD FARE or age dependant concessionary ticket is requested, we
reserve the right to request proof of age if we have reasonable grounds to raise
issue with the age of the passenger. Where such information is not supplied we
may at our sole discretion seek payment of the full ADULT FARE and subsequent
proof of age will not entitle any individual to a refund of the difference
between the CHILD FARE and ADULT FARE.
2.2 Passengers boarding a bus at an intermediate point in which no set fare has
been fixed will be charged the relevant fare rate from the previous fare stage.
2.3 Passengers requesting a ticket to an intermediate point in which no fare has
been fixed will be charged to the fare stage beyond.
2.4 We will make reasonable endeavours to bring to your attention general
information indicating changes to our fare table in advance on this website.
However individual fare changes may be subject to alteration without notice.
2.5 Passengers travelling in areas where zonal fares apply will pay the
appropriate fare for the number of zones travelled in or through.
2.6 Able bodied adult passengers unable to tender their fare, or provide a
valid ticket, pass, warrant, magnetic card or smart card, will not be
carried, but in the interest of safety and public relations children, elderly,
disabled and other potentially vulnerable persons will not be left stranded when
they have no means of payment for their fares.
2.7 In the event that you cannot for whatever reason produce a valid ticket,
pass, warrant, magnetic card or smart card, pass or permit for inspection on
demand whilst travelling on any of our vehicles, you will be required to pay a
standard fare of £35. This sum is payable on demand by an inspector or other
company official.
2.8 Should you not be in a position to pay the standard fare
on demand you must provide us with your name and address and evidence of your
identity so that we may correspond with you regarding payment of the fare as
well as any other costs (including legal costs and expenses) we reasonably incur
in collecting payment from you. Failure to pay the standard fare requested may
lead to court proceedings & recovery as a civil debt.
2.9 You will not be entitled to repayment of the standard fare if you later are
able to produce a valid ticket for the journey in question.
-
Maintenance of Service
3.1 We will make reasonable efforts to maintain the services as advertised in
our timetable but reserve the right to alter, suspend or withdraw any vehicle or
service without notice if such delay is caused as a consequence of matters
outside of our control such as adverse weather conditions, vehicle failure, road
congestion, road works or traffic diversions.
3.2 We shall not be responsible for any loss or damage you incur caused as a
consequence of delay or cancellation where such delay or cancellation was caused
as a result of matters outside of our reasonable control.
-
Children's Fares

Children under five years of age, if not occupying a seat required by a fare
paying passenger or pass holder, are carried free of charge, provided they are
in the care of a fare paying or pass holding passenger, otherwise the
appropriate child fare will be charged.

Sydney Smith School
AT ALL TIMES children up to the age of 16 using our services wholly within the
Hull City Boundary and the Special School Service to Sydney Smith School will
pay a flat CHILD FARE and children from the age of 16 years will be obliged to
pay the full ADULT FARE.

pay that that fare over the section of route for which the pass is valid. This
pass is not valid for travel home at lunch-time.
4.3 Journeys cross boundary from Hull to East Riding and journeys wholly
elsewhere
AT ALL TIMES children under the age of 16 will pay the reduced child fare and
children from the age of 16 years will pay the full ADULT FARE.

Break of Journey
6.1 Passengers paying a single fare or a day return fare are not permitted to
break their journeys without payment of a further fare unless a transfer from
one bus to another is arranged by the Company.
6.2 Passengers must pay the correct fare for any through journey made. They must
not pay two single fares. If a passenger wishes to extend a journey made with
any pass season ticket or permit, beyond its zone of validity, they must pay the
single fare from the boundary to their destination, and state their intention to
extend their journey on boarding the bus.
-

otherwise notified) will stop to pick up or set down passengers only at
recognised stopping places which are normally identified by a “Bus Stop” sign.
7.2 In areas where there are no designated bus stops within the space of half
a mile (0.8km), vehicles operating local bus
services will normally stop anywhere by request to pick up or set down
passengers except on steep hills or at other dangerous points. It will be for
the driver of any bus or coach operated by us to decide at his sole discretion
safe pick up and set down points in such circumstances.
7.3 Passengers wishing to board a bus should give a clear signal to the driver
in good time.

Tickets for excursions are issued subject to East Yorkshire Motor Services Limited's Conditions of
Carriage which supplement the conditions set out below where applicable.
-
An "excursion" is a round trip using transport organised by us to a specific place, area of interest,
or special event within the United Kingdom and which lasts not more than a period of 24 hours.
-
The cost of any excursion advertised by us includes the cost of return transport. Unless specifically
stated in the excursion programme the price paid for the excursion will not include entry to
any premises or events.
-
We reserve the right to cancel or alter any announced excursion if found necessary through insufficiency
of passengers or for any other reason that is outside of our control such as, by way of example only,
adverse weather conditions or unexpected mechanical breakdowns that could not have been avoided by the
proper execution of a reasonable preventative maintenance programme.
-
Should we exercise our right to cancel an excursion for such a reason, our liability to you will be limited
to your right to receive a full refund of the price paid to us.
-
Where we substantially alter an excursion, you will also have the right to cancel and receive a full
refund of the price paid to us.
-
We shall not be responsible to you in any way for any delay or cancellation where such delay or
cancellation was unavoidable and caused as a result of factors entirely outside of our control
such as by way of example only unexpected breakdown of vehicles, traffic congestion, diversions
or adverse weather conditions.
-
Tickets must be shown on demand and given up to the driver on request.
-
If you wish to cancel your excursion for a reason other than that set out at condition 6, refunds
shall be calculated on the basis of the reasonable expenses we expect to incur as a result of your
cancellation, which must be requested in writing, as follows:
(a) Cancellations prior to seven days before travel, 30% will be charged or £2.00 per person,
whichever is higher.
(b) Cancellations between four and seven days, 50% will be charged.
(c) Cancellations between three days and the day of departure, there will be NO REFUND.
-
The calculation set out at condition 9 shall be based on the price paid by you to us less the
cost of any relevant admission fee(s) we have incurred.
-
Where the price paid by you does include an admission fee, we shall make reasonable endeavours to
recover those fees on your behalf from those third parties and thereafter refund the admission
fee in whole or in part to you but cannot be held responsible in the event that such fees cannot be
recovered in whole or in part.
-
Save for personal injury and death caused by our negligence and misrepresentation, we exclude all
liability for losses that were:
(a) not foreseeable to us and you when the contract was formed;
(b) were not caused by any breach on our part; and
(c) relate to business losses and/or losses to non consumers.
-
In order to avoid disruption to the enjoyment of other passengers, we must adhere to the scheduled
timetable for departures. As such Vehicles cannot wait for passengers who arrive late on either the
outward or return journey, or after any other break in the journey, and the Company cannot be held in
any way responsible to you if you miss the vehicle as a result.
-
In compliance with the Motor Vehicles (Wearing of Seat Belts) (Amendment) Regulations 2006:
(a) seated passengers aged 14 or over are required by law to wear seatbelts where such are available.
(b) A child under the age of fourteen in a front seat position (i.e. parallel with the driver) or if less
than 135cm in height, must wear a seat belt or where available, a child seat, booster seat or booster cushion
as appropriate. A child under the age of three must use a baby or child seat when located parallel to
the driver.

the adult’s seatbelt.
-
Children under three are carried free, but no seat will be provided.
-
Children under 16 will be carried at the advertised child fare.
-
Where theatre/concert/event seating is offered as part of an inclusive package, every effort will be
made to seat together all passengers booking as part of a group. However, the seat allocation offered by
the venue may on occasion prevent this and groups could therefore be seated in two’s or three’s. Occasionally
individuals may be seated one behind the other.
-
Whilst we will make reasonable endeavours to ensure that your seat on our coach is reserved as numbered
and allocated pursuant to a seating allocation plan at the time of booking, the Company nonetheless
reserves the right for operational reasons to use a coach with a different seating layout to that shown
at the time the booking is made.
-
Unforeseen problems may also occasionally mean a vehicle without numbered coach seating being used
for part of or all of the journey.
-
The following conditions apply in addition to the standard excursions conditions of carriage above
for excursions to football matches or other designated sporting events.
(a) Attention is particularly drawn to the requirements of the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol
Etc), Act, 1985 as amended by the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol Etc.) Act, 1992 (c.57), which
specifically prohibits the carrying or consuming of alcohol on coaches travelling to or from designated
sporting events.
(b) It is also an offence under the above legislation for a person carried on a public service vehicle
travelling to or from a designated sporting event to be in possession of intoxicating liquor and/or to
be drunk. Drivers and Company officials may search any bag, holdall or carrier to satisfy themselves
that no intoxicating liquor is being carried.

East Yorkshire Motor Services Limited is committed to a policy of fair trading and will take every
care to give you value for money and ensure that everything is done to the satisfaction of coach hirers
and their passengers, but in your own interests you are advised to read these conditions which set out the
principal rights and liabilities we owe to each other.
-
The hiring of vehicles is governed by the Public Passenger Vehicles Act, 1981, the Transport Act,
1985 and Transport Act, 2000, which provide, amongst other things, for the proper conduct of drivers
and passengers, the rules governing drivers’ hours of work and driving and other matters concerning
the safety and proper operation of buses and coaches. Hirers are asked not to try to persuade our
staff to break these rules, which are governed by law, since by doing so the driver may place in
jeopardy his own Passenger Carrying Vehicle Driver’s Licence (and hence his job) and the company’s
own Public Service Vehicle Operator’s Licence.
-
The following conditions apply in addition to the standard conditions of hire for hires to football
matches or other designated sporting events.
(a) Attention is particularly drawn to the requirements of the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol
Etc), Act, 1985 as amended by the Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol Etc.) Act, 1992 (c.57), which
specifically prohibits the carrying or consuming of alcohol on coaches travelling to or from designated
sporting events.
(b) It is also an offence under the above legislation for a person carried on a public service vehicle
travelling to or from a designated sporting event to be in possession of intoxicating liquor and/or to
be drunk. Drivers and Company officials may search any bag, holdall or carrier to satisfy themselves
that no intoxicating liquor is being carried.
(c) In the event of any passenger being in breach of condition 2(b) above, the passenger shall be
liable to the Company and its employees or agents for all costs incurred by them and arising as a
result of such breach, including any fine or fines imposed upon them by virtue of Section 1 of the
Sporting Events (Control of Alcohol Etc) Act, 1985 as amended by the Sporting Events (Control of
Alcohol Etc.) Act, 1992 (c.57). Such passenger will be refused travel and no refund will be made.
-
We accept a request to hire subject to the type or
size of vehicle mentioned in any quotation or offer still being available at the
date when your booking acceptance is received by the company. We reserve the
right for operational reasons to sub contract any hire to another operator but
where this is necessary, we will do our utmost to ensure a supply of a vehicle
of at least similar quality.
-
Save for personal injury and death caused by our negligence and misrepresentation, we exclude
all liability for losses that were:
(a) not foreseeable to us and you when the contract was formed;
(b) were not caused by any breach on our part; and
(c) relate to business losses and/or losses to non consumers.
-
We cannot accept any liability for any delay, inconvenience or damage which may arise on the
date or days of the hire as a consequence of matters entirely outside of our reasonable control
such as by way of example only unexpected breakdown of vehicles, traffic congestion, diversions
or adverse weather conditions or which are not as a consequence of our negligence.
-
You shall be responsible to us for any damage to the vehicle, its fittings or equipment caused
through your negligence, misconduct or any default or any of the passengers carried and will be
liable to repay to us any losses we reasonably incur as a direct consequence of that conduct.
-
Additionally where the vehicle has been soiled due to your negligence, misconduct or any default
or that of any of the passengers carried and which as a result requires us to perform extraordinary
cleaning to the vehicle to render it fit for hire, you shall be responsible for paying to us the
reasonable costs we incur for such cleaning services.
-
The hirer undertakes to be responsible for the orderly behaviour of all members of the party and
for ensuring that their conduct shall not be such as to cause annoyance to the public.
Should the driver at any time consider that a member or members of a party are behaving improperly
then he may require that such an individual or individuals to leave the vehicle.
-
The hirer may (subject to the driver’s agreement regarding route suitability and adherence to the
Drivers’ Hours Regulations), extend or vary the route as specified on the order, such instructions,
apart from very minor variations, must be written and signed by the hirer and given to the driver,
in which case an extra charge may be required to cover the cost of any additional mileage covered
and/or time taken.
-
The individual hirer (or the company or organisation on whose behalf the hiring arrangements are
made and so signed on the order) undertakes to be directly responsible for the hire and for the
payment which must be settled in full at least seven days prior to the commencement of the hire
unless other specific arrangements have been agreed between the hirer and the Company prior to the
commencement of the journey. Time for payment shall be of the essence.
-
If you fail to pay any amount payable to us under this agreement by the due date for payment,
we reserve the right to charge you interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 2% per annum above
the base rate for the time being of the National Westminster bank. Such interest shall accrue on a daily
basis and be compounded quarterly.
-
If for reasons entirely beyond our reasonable control we are forced to cancel the hire arrangement we
will endeavour to advise you as soon as reasonably possible after facts come to our knowledge that make it
necessary to cancel the hire. As such our liability to you will be limited to a refund of any sums paid in
advance for the price of the hire.
Should you wish to cancel the hire of any vehicle that you have arranged with us, the following scale of
charges shall apply in relation to the total hire charge and are calculated on the basis of the reasonable
expenses we expect to incur as a result of such a cancellation
Days Prior to Coach Hire Cancellation Charge
(a) 10 days or more - none
(b) 6-9 days - 10% of hire
(c) 3-5 days - 25% of hire
(d) 1-2 days - 50% of hire
(e) Day of hire - 75% of hire
(f) Arrival of coach at departure point - Minimum of 85% of hire (based on time and mileage)
(g) After departure - 100% of hire
-
In the event of any emergency, riot, civil commotion, strike, lock out, stoppage or restraint of
labour or on the happening of any event over which the Company has no control (including adverse
weather and road conditions) or in the event of the Hirer taking any action to vary agreed conditions
unilaterally, we may, return all sums paid to you and cancel the contract without any further or other
liability to you.
