Define “bus”:
- A motor vehicle designed to transport passengers on hire on route service lines that are indicated within its registration document only.
- A motor vehicle designed to transport eight passengers besides the driver, and has valid registration documents.
- Correct answer: A motor vehicle designed to transport at least eight passengers apart from the driver, and is indicated as a bus within its registration document.
- Any vehicle permitted to transport more than ten school children.
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A motor vehicle designed to transport at least eight passengers apart from the driver, and is indicated as a bus within its registration document.
By legal definition, a bus is a motor vehicle designed to carry at least eight passengers apart from the driver, and it must also be indicated as a bus in its registration document. Both conditions are needed together: seating capacity and registration. Carrying fare-paying passengers on route lines or transporting school children is not part of the definition, and valid registration alone does not make a vehicle a bus.
