The passenger capacity of a bus varies depending on the model. Different models of buses can carry from a dozen to sixty or seventy people.
The standards for the number of passengers approved for large buses are as follows:
1. Large passenger cars, buses with a rated capacity of 19 or more people;
2. Medium-sized passenger cars, buses with a rated capacity of 10 or more and less than 19 people;
3. Small passenger cars, buses with a rated capacity of 9 or less people.
The rated capacity is the maximum carrying capacity approved for vehicles, ships, aircraft and other means of transportation.
Common large buses include: 22 seats, 25 seats, 29 seats, 33 seats, 35 seats, 37 seats, 45 seats, 49 seats, 55 seats and other models. Large buses refer to passenger cars with a length of more than 6 meters or a rated capacity of more than 19 people. Some cars are equipped with all seats, and some are equipped with all berths.
According to different service modes, buses can be divided into travel buses, city buses, highway buses, railway buses, sightseeing buses and school buses. Buses can be divided into single vehicles and trains according to their overall structure. Single vehicles are the basic models, and are often divided into large, medium and small types according to the total weight of the bus or the set passenger capacity.
Information related to buses is as follows:
1. Buses can be single-layer or double-layer;
2. There are articulated ones and tractor-trailer ones. There are two-door, single-door, or luggage compartments;
3. Most buses are driven by diesel engines, and there are also pure electric vehicles with all-metal bodies;
4. According to the energy consumed and the road area occupied by the number of passengers, public transportation vehicles are more economical than personal vehicles. This is one of the main reasons why many countries give priority to the development of public transportation buses.
