A “Private bus” is defined as:
- A bus that is not operated on a fixed route.
- Correct answer: A bus that is not a public service vehicle.
- A privately owned bus.
- A bus for touring and traveling purposes only,
Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: A bus that is not a public service vehicle.
Whether a bus is private depends on its licensing and use, not on who owns it. A bus that is not a public service vehicle, meaning it is not licensed to carry passengers for hire, is a private bus. A privately owned company bus, or a touring bus with no fixed route, can still be a public service vehicle, so ownership and route do not decide it.
