Scheduled bus

A scheduled bus is a bus used for public transport. A distinction can be made between city, regional and long-distance buses. Line buses are often equipped with traffic light control equipment,

At bus and tram stops, you should always be careful and adjust your speed if necessary. There are often passengers boarding or disembarking who then want to cross the carriageway. They do not always pay attention, especially to children. So always be alert and considerate and allow passengers to cross safely if the passengers are not paying attention. You will come across this kind of question at the CBR in the hazard recognition questions.

If a bus (any bus!) wants to leave a bus stop in a built-up area, you must let the bus go ahead. The bus must indicate this by turning on its indicator, in which case you must let it go ahead. Outside built-up areas this is not necessary. This right of way applies to all buses, both scheduled buses and coaches.

A question that often comes up at the CBR is: The coach wants to leave the bus stop: do you have to give way to the coach? If so, pay close attention to the road sign whether this is inside or outside the built-up area. Is it inside the built-up area, the answer is yes. Is the bus stop outside the built-up area the answer is: No.
