Quantity licensing

1) System of governmental control (ie licensing) of goods vehicle operations based on 'quantity' concept - namely, where primary concern is to restrict the volume of freight capacity on the roads.

Britain's old A & B carriers' licensing system was of this type until replaced by quality licensing (ie 'O' licensing) under the provisions of the Transport Act 1968. The road service licence system introduced for bus and coach services by the Road Traffic Act 1930 and replaced by registration of local bus services under the Transport Act 1985, was a classic example of quantity licensing, giving the favoured operator or operators a monopoly of services along the stated route.
