Correct answer
13.50 metres
The regulatory maximum length of a two-axle rigid bus is 13.50 metres. For a rigid bus with more than two axles it is 15 metres, and for an articulated bus 18.75 metres. Removable accessories count towards the applicable maximum length. Complying with these dimensions does not remove the need to adapt driving to the available space and road layout.
