DDifficulty 3/5

On a public-service bus, does compulsory passenger insurance protect only passengers with paid tickets?

Correct answer

No; it also protects travellers entitled to free travel and the driver assigned by the company to the service.

No. Article 6 protects travellers with paid or free travel entitlements and minors exempt from payment under the service’s rules. It also includes staff assigned by the company to use or operate the vehicle, such as the driver, and public-administration staff on duty during the journey. It covers bodily harm provided for by the regulations in insured accidents; it is not unlimited cover for any damage to any occupant.
