Passenger assistants may be required on some routes. Once the DPS is established, operators will be advised of the opportunities available as and when they arise— operators can then choose whether they want to bid for the requirement or not (it is not compulsory to bid for every opportunity offered, all operators within DPS will be informed of the opportunity, but can choose whether or not to bid on an individual basis).
