Correct answer
15 metres.
15 metres. Annex IX sets 13.50 metres for two-axle rigid buses and 15 metres for rigid buses with more than two axles. It does not depend simply on passenger capacity. Articulated buses and bus-trailer combinations have different length categories; do not apply this 15-metre limit to them. Removable accessories are included in the regulated overall length.
