Which vehicle may use the exclusive bus lane on an expressway?
💡 Hint
The exclusive bus lane on expressways is for passenger cars with 9 or more seats and buses, and passenger cars or buses with 12 or fewer seats may use it only when carrying at least a set number of people (Enforcement Decree, Appended Table 1). Check both the seating capacity and the actual number of occupants.
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Appendix 1 of the Enforcement Decree, the expressway exclusive bus lane is open to passenger cars and buses with 9 or more seats, but passenger cars and buses with 12 or fewer seats must carry at least 6 people. Only the 9-seat car with 6 aboard qualifies; the 9-seater with only the driver and the 12-seat bus with 4 have too few people, and a 5-seat car does not have 9 or more seats.
