Why this is the answer
The correct answer in the official bank: No. It is only permitted to carry a passenger that sits astride the motorcycle.
A motorcycle passenger must sit astride, with one leg on each side, on a proper seat and using footrests. Sitting with both legs on one side upsets the bike's balance and the passenger's grip, making a fall more likely when braking or turning. The rule applies on every type of road, urban, non-urban or freeway alike.
