Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In accordance with the General Traffic Regulations and the vehicle approval regulations, buses and coaches classified for long-distance services (generally Class III vehicles) are designed and authorized exclusively to carry seated passengers, and must also have seatbelts or other approved restraint systems. Standing passengers are permitted only on buses intended for urban or short-distance transport (Class I and, under certain conditions, Class II), provided they have handholds and are duly approved for it on their roadworthiness test (ITV) card.
