What are Passenger Vehicles and Non-Passenger Vehicles?
1 Answers
Passenger vehicles refer to automobiles designed to carry passengers, which are categorized into minibuses, city buses, long-distance coaches, tour buses, articulated buses, trolleybuses, off-road buses, and special-purpose buses. Illegal passenger vehicles are those that operate for hire without a valid commercial transport license, commonly known as "black cabs". Minibuses: Minibuses generally denote small passenger vehicles with a seating capacity of 2 to 9 people. They typically include sports cars, sedans, and microvans. Due to their compact size, these vehicles are well-suited for family and institutional use. They are generally distinguished from mid-sized and full-sized buses. The advantages of micro vehicles lie in their affordability, ease of maintenance, and lower fuel consumption. Mid-sized Buses: Mid-sized buses are defined as passenger vehicles with a seating capacity exceeding 9 but fewer than 20 people as specified in the vehicle registration, and they bear yellow license plates. Small passenger vehicles are those with a seating capacity of 9 or fewer people, while micro passenger vehicles are those with an engine cylinder total displacement of 1 liter or less. Passenger vehicles with blue license plates are classified as small passenger vehicles.
