Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 (Article 3(a)), this regulation does not apply to road transport carried out with vehicles intended for passenger transport on regular services when the route of the service does not exceed 50 kilometers. For this reason, the Community limit of 90 hours in two consecutive weeks does not apply to them, and their driving time is subject to whatever the general labor legislation and the applicable collective agreements provide. Therefore, the answer is to refer to labor legislation and not to the European regulations on driving and rest times. The 90 hours is the standard limit for services subject to that regulation, and 70 hours is not a limit set by it.
