On a regular general-use public road passenger transport service, in what circumstance is it mandatory to apply the school transport and minors' transport safety rules?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Article 1(b) of Royal Decree 443/2001 applies the safety conditions for school transport and transport of minors to runs of regular general-use public passenger transport in which half or more of the vehicle's seats have been previously reserved for passengers under sixteen years old. The threshold of one third of the passengers being under 16, which is the one for other services (special-use regular service for schoolchildren and ancillary own-account transport (transporte privado complementario)), does not apply. Referring to minors at the start of the school year is not valid either: the age that counts is sixteen, and what is decisive is the prior reservation of seats.
