Correct answer
The bus, even if carrying no passengers.
The bus, even when carrying no passengers. This situation uses the regulatory order by vehicle type: collective passenger vehicles precede cars and car-derived vehicles. It is not a general rule that the heaviest or largest vehicle always goes first. Signs, officers’ instructions, having entered first and steep gradients can change the situation.
