In any event, may the undertaking organising the transport be exempt from application of the regulation in respect of those vehicles it uses exclusively to cover journeys of less than 50 km, or is the undertaking’s entire transport service subject to application of the regulation, by reason of the fact that it uses other vehicles to cover journeys exceeding 50 km?
