In passenger buses, where must no rider stand in relation to the driver's seat?

In passenger buses, it is important for safety reasons that no rider stands forward of the rear of the driver's seat. This rule is in place to ensure that passengers do not obstruct the driver’s view or interfere with their ability to operate the vehicle safely. If a passenger were to stand too close to the front, it could create a risk of distraction or impede the driver's access to controls and the ability to react to emergencies.

The other choices do not provide the clarity of safety regarding the driver's operational zone. For example, standing behind the passenger area or in the front cabin does not specify the potential for interference with the driver's visibility and task focus. Additionally, standing next to the driver could also pose distractions or safety hazards while the bus is in motion. Therefore, ensuring all passengers remain behind the designated line, specifically at or behind the rear of the driver's seat, is crucial in creating a safe environment for the driver and everyone on board.
