More than 50 Highway Traffic Act charges have been laid against Kelloway Investments Ltd., the bus company that was suspended by the Newfoundland and Labrador English School District last week.
Service NL said on Tuesday the company was facing 58 breaches related to vehicle inspections. Another 58 charges have been laid against an inspection company, J.J. Services.
Both businesses operate at 34 Blackmarsh Rd. in St. John's.
The charges allege that Kelloway Investments displayed vehicle inspection certificates without a full inspection being carried out. J.J. Services is accused of issuing certificates without performing a full inspection.
Kelloway Investments was suspended by the school district last Wednesday, after inspections on their vehicles found a number of problems related to brakes and emergency doors.

Both companies are set to appear in court on March 1.
