41 Regions or routes of operation
A service contract must specify a region or route of operation.
A service contract may—
confer on the holder of the contract an exclusive right to operate a regular passenger service of the relevant kind within the specified region, or on, or in proximity to, the specified route (or part of that region or route); and
provide for other matters relevant to the operation of passenger transport services (including new services) within the specified region, or on, or in proximity to, the specified route.
