VEHICLEs may be classified using a VEHICLE TYPE according to how they meet vehicle scheduling requirements as to capacity and on-board facilities (e.g. standard bus, double decker, etc.). A VEHICLE TYPE may be attached to a specific SERVICE JOURNEY to indicate that a vehicle of that type is needed to satisfy the requirements.
The VEHICLE TYPE is of particular interest to passengers with impaired mobility who may be limited to vehicles with particular accessibility features such as a wheelchair hoist.
