What is the minimum age requirement to obtain a Class B or E driver's license in Ontario?

Answer: C — 18 years old

Operating a bus or large passenger vehicle falls into a higher-level driver license category, and regulators set a minimum age to ensure applicants have reached sufficient maturity and training readiness. In Ontario, you must be at least 18 to hold a Class B or E license. This aligns with the extra testing and medical/vision requirements that accompany commercial passenger-vehicle licenses. Along with age, you’d typically need to have a valid G license and pass the relevant knowledge and road tests (plus medical checks) to qualify. The younger ages—16 or 17—are below the minimum, and 21 is beyond the minimum requirement but not the threshold you must meet.
