Correct answer
The limit resulting from the national and employment rules applicable to that service.
The national and employment rules applicable to the service apply. Regular passenger services whose route does not exceed 50 km are excluded from Regulation (EC) 561/2006, so its 90-hour two-week limit should not automatically be assigned. Exemption does not permit unlimited driving or inadequate rest: the applicable rules must regulate and protect driving times, breaks and rest. Not every short journey is exempt; it must be a regular service covered by that case.
