Practice question

To drive a bus other than a school bus carrying 25 or more passengers, you need what class of Ontario license?

  1. B
  2. C
  3. A
  4. D

Answer: B — C

When you’re driving a bus that carries 25 or more passengers, you must have a license that covers larger passenger vehicles. In Ontario, that category is Class B. It’s set up this way because operating a larger passenger bus requires specialized training and knowledge to handle the size, stopping distances, and safety considerations for many passengers, which goes beyond a standard car license. The other license classes are meant for different types of heavy vehicles or configurations, so they don’t apply to a non-school bus carrying 25+ passengers. Note that a school bus has its own separate requirements, distinct from this.
