A bus with 9-15 seats requires which kind of license?

Chauffeur's License
CDL
Operator's License
Motorcycle License

The correct answer is: Chauffeur's License

A bus designed to carry 9 to 15 passengers requires a Chauffeur's License because this type of license is specifically intended for operators of vehicles that transport a specific number of passengers, typically classified under the non-commercial vehicle category. The Chauffeur's License allows individuals to drive vehicles that are not classified as commercial driver’s license (CDL) vehicles and is used for those who operate vehicles for hire or to shuttle passengers, which is common for bus services with this capacity. While a Commercial Driver's License (CDL) may be necessary for buses with a capacity of 16 or more passengers, the 9 to 15 seat classification falls into the Chauffeur's License category. An Operator's License generally applies to standard vehicle operation without specific passenger transport regulations. A Motorcycle License is unrelated to bus operations, as it pertains specifically to motorcycles. Therefore, the requirement for a Chauffeur's License in this scenario is appropriate for the context of the vehicle's capacity.
