Question 1224 in the bank

Where is a route service bus driver supposed to stop?

  1. In any place requested by one of the passengers.
  2. In any place which is close to the passenger's requested destination, but only on the "hard shoulder".
  3. Correct answer: In the stations that were approved by the Controller of Road Transport within the route service license.
  4. In every station along the road, provided that it is a station of the route service provider.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: In the stations that were approved by the Controller of Road Transport within the route service license.

A route service bus operates under a route licence issued by the Controller of Road Transport, which sets the route and its stops. The driver therefore stops only at the stations approved in that licence. Stopping wherever a passenger asks, even on the hard shoulder, is not allowed, and a station belonging to the operator is not enough if the licence does not approve it.
