There are age restrictions for bus drivers, who cannot exceed 60 years old. Age restrictions for driving: There are age restrictions for driving. In China, as long as you are over 18 years old and under 70 years old, you can apply for a driver's license. This age range is eligible to apply for small cars and small automatic transmission cars. No upper age limit for driver's license: However, those over 60 years old need to submit an annual medical examination report. If qualified, they can continue driving, with no requirements on vision. Therefore, as long as all physical conditions are met after obtaining the license, one can drive indefinitely—there is no upper age limit for the driver's license. Additionally, different licenses and vehicle types have varying age requirements for applicants.
I've been driving buses for over a decade, and this profession indeed has strict age regulations. The national requirement states that drivers must be at least 20 years old to obtain an A3 driver's license, with an upper age limit of 60. I remember when I first joined, the fleet manager particularly emphasized this - while young people have quick reflexes but lack experience, older drivers are steady but may lack physical stamina, making 20 to 60 the optimal age range. Nowadays, I often remind new recruits not to rush into earning money but wait until they're of legal age to get licensed, because safe driving is more important than anything else.
