Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, but only about matters relating to the journey and without turning his head away from the road.
A bus driver may speak with passengers only about matters relating to the journey, such as the route, stops or tickets, and must keep his eyes and head facing the road. Casual conversation distracts the driver and endangers everyone on board. A total ban is impractical, since passengers sometimes need journey information, and the limit depends on the topic, not on who is asking.
