Correct answer
56 hours.
The ordinary weekly maximum is 56 hours; it is not an exceptional extension. No more than 90 hours may be accumulated over two consecutive weeks. A week runs from Monday at 00:00 to Sunday at 24:00. Daily limits, breaks, rest periods and the applicable working-time limit must also be observed. This scenario excludes exempt services and legal exceptions; not every bus is subject to this regime.
