SCHEDULE

Case No. TAMP/26/2000-COPT

The Cochin Port Trust (COPT)                                  …                     Applicant

O R D E R

( Passed on this 15th day of March, 2000 )

                        This case relates to a proposal received from the Cochin Port Trust (COPT) to revise the daily rates of toll pass for a tourist bus having capacity of less than 20 passengers to Rs.20/-.

2.                      In the existing Scale of Rates of the COPT, a toll charge of Rs.40/- per day for a tourist bus irrespective of the passenger capacity is included.  The COPT has stated that the operators of small tourist buses having capacity of less than 20 passengers had represented against clubbing of all tourist buses irrespective of passenger capacity for the daily toll pass.  The COPT has, therefore, proposed to revise the rates for daily toll passes for a tourist bus of capacity less than 20 passengers to Rs.20/-, as a customer friendly approach.

3.                      In view of the position described by the COPT, and based on a collective application of mind, the Authority hereby approves the proposal of the COPT to levy a daily toll charge of Rs.20/- per day for a tourist bus having capacity of less than 20 passengers and decides to retain the existing rate of Rs.40/- per day only for tourist buses with a capacity of more than 20 passengers.
