Which of the following elements should a city bus used in public transport be equipped with?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
C. A rear-view mirror in which the driver can see the interior of the bus.
Explanation
In the photo there is a yellow and red city bus with wide doors and a low floor. A bus used in urban public transport must be equipped with an interior mirror that allows the driver to see the inside of the bus - answer C.
The Regulation on the technical conditions of vehicles lists the equipment of a bus, including an interior mirror that allows the driver to see the inside of the bus, and at the same time states that several items on this list do not apply to a city bus used in urban public transport. The excluded items include curtains on the side windows (answer A) and a first-aid kit (answer B), as well as a spare wheel and a luggage compartment - in a city a bus makes short trips, and help arrives quickly. The interior mirror, however, is especially important precisely in a city: passengers stand, get on and get off at every stop, and the driver must see whether anyone has fallen and whether the doors can be closed safely.
