DDifficulty 2/5

Under Article 3 of Royal Decree 443/2001, meeting applicable requirements and excluding the special territorial regime, may school-transport buses and minors’ transport buses exceed ten years at the start of the school year?

Correct answer

Both those used for school transport and those used for the transport of minors.

Yes, both may, subject to their applicable conditions and a maximum of sixteen years at the start of the school year. For special-use regular school transport, assigning a vehicle over ten years requires evidence that it was already used for that transport or the prescribed scrapping certificate. Providing that service in the previous school year is not the sole requirement: these are distinct evidence routes. Age is assessed on 1 September.
