Can an A1 License Drive a Bus?
1 Answers
An A1 license can drive a bus. The required license for a bus is A3, and the A1 license covers the A3 vehicle category. Introduction to Class A Licenses: Class A licenses can be further divided into three types: A1, A2, and A3. The differences between A1, A2, and A3 licenses lie in the varying application requirements and the types of vehicles they permit, especially in the application process. Unlike a C1 license, A1 and A2 licenses cannot be obtained directly. One must start with a C1 license and progressively upgrade to A3, B1, and B2 licenses before eventually obtaining A1 and A2 licenses. Introduction to the A1 License: The A1 license is for large passenger vehicles. It permits driving buses that can carry more than 20 passengers and passenger vehicles with a body length exceeding 6 meters. Other vehicle categories covered by the A1 license include: A3 city buses, B1 medium-sized passenger vehicles, B2 large trucks, C1 small cars, C2 small automatic transmission cars, C3 low-speed trucks, C4 three-wheeled vehicles, and M wheeled self-propelled machinery.
