Is a 19-Seater Bus Considered a Medium-Sized Passenger Vehicle?

[OAlessandra]

It belongs to the medium-sized category. Vehicles with a length of less than 6 meters and a passenger capacity of more than 9 but fewer than 20 people are classified as medium-sized passenger vehicles. Key considerations include: 1. Driver's License: A B1 driver's license is required to operate a medium-sized passenger vehicle. 2. Penalties: Overloading a road passenger vehicle beyond its rated capacity will result in fines; exceeding the rated capacity by 20% or carrying cargo in violation of regulations will also incur fines. In such cases, the traffic management department of the public security authority will detain the vehicle until the violation is rectified. 3. Passenger Count: Road passenger vehicles must not exceed the approved passenger capacity, excluding children who are exempt from tickets as per regulations. When the vehicle is at full capacity, the number of exempt children must not exceed 10% of the approved passenger count.
