To drive an articulated bus with 60 authorized seats, what driving license is required?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Vehicle Regulations (Annex II), an articulated bus is a single bus made up of two rigid parts joined by an articulated section that connects their passenger compartments, not a combined vehicle made up of a towing vehicle and a trailer. For this reason the +E extension is not needed. With 60 seats it far exceeds the limit of the D1 license (sixteen passengers in addition to the driver), so the class D license is enough (General Driver Regulations, Article 4(2)). The D+E license would be needed only if the bus towed a trailer whose maximum authorized mass (MAM) exceeded 750 kg, and the D1+E would not do either, because it does not authorize carrying more than sixteen passengers.
