Question 1220 in the bank

“Student transport” in a bus is:

  1. Any transportation of children on a bus, including on a route service.
  2. Correct answer: Student transport to school or to a school's organized activity, other than on a route service.
  3. Any transportation of children or the transportation of students.
  4. The transportation of children under 16 yrs.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Student transport to school or to a school's organized activity, other than on a route service.

Student transport is defined by the purpose of the trip, not by the passengers' age. It means carrying children to school or to an organized school activity. Children riding a regular route service bus, which is open to the general public, are not student transport, so the special requirements for such transport do not apply there. Carrying university students, or any trip with children, does not fit the definition either.
