Is it obligatory for a route service bus driver to allow any person into the bus?
- No. If a passenger refuses to identify himself, the driver may refuse taking him.
- Yes, but only during the day.
- No, but he should provide an explanation for each refusal.
- Correct answer: Yes, unless other statutory restrictions apply.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, unless other statutory restrictions apply.
A route service bus is public transport, so the driver must take any passenger who wants to travel, at any hour, as long as no other legal restriction applies, such as the bus already being full to its permitted capacity. The driver may not refuse at will, even with an explanation. A passenger declining to identify himself is not a valid reason to refuse him.
