Differences Between Medium-sized and Large Buses

[McPeter]

1. Passenger Capacity. Vehicles designed to carry more than 9 but fewer than 20 passengers are classified as medium-sized buses, while those with a certified capacity exceeding 19 passengers are categorized as large buses. 2. Driver's License Requirements. An A1 license is required to operate large buses. According to the 'Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driving Licenses,' drivers holding a B1 license are permitted to operate medium-sized passenger vehicles. 3. Vehicle Length. Medium-sized buses are those with a length of less than 6 meters. Large urban buses typically measure 10-12 meters in length, and extra-large urban buses include articulated buses (13-18 meters) and double-decker buses (10-12 meters with two levels of seating).
