Should schools use school buses with school bus licenses? What conditions should a school bus driver have?

At present, parents generally send their children to and from school in person, which not only aggravates urban traffic congestion, but also wastes social resources and aggravates environmental pollution. Safe school buses are becoming the first choice for major primary and secondary schools to solve this problem. The safety of school bus on the road refers to the quality and safety of school bus itself, the safety quality of drivers, the safety of students on school bus and the exclusive right of school bus. A primary school in Beijing bought a brand-new bus as a school bus for the convenience of children going to and from school, but the person in charge didn't know whether the school had to obtain a school bus license to use it. What conditions must the school bus drivers recruited by the school meet to be qualified to drive the school bus?

The lawyer answered the question.

The school must obtain a school bus license before the school bus can be put into use. According to the first paragraph of Article 14 of China's School Bus Safety Management Regulations, the use of school buses should be licensed in accordance with the regulations. At the same time, article 15 stipulates the procedures for applying for school bus use permits. If a school or school bus service provider applies for a school bus license, it shall submit a written application and supporting materials to the education administrative department of the people's government at the county level or at the municipal level with districts. The administrative department of education shall, within 3 working days from the date of receiving the application materials, send it to the traffic management department and the transportation department of the public security organ at the same level for comments, and the traffic management department and the transportation department of the public security organ shall reply within 3 working days. The administrative department of education shall, within 5 working days from the date of receiving the reply, put forward the audit opinions and report them to the people's government at the corresponding level. If the people's government at the corresponding level decides to approve, the traffic administrative department of the public security organ shall issue school bus signs and endorse the type and number of school buses on the motor vehicle driving license; If it is not approved, it shall explain the reasons in writing. Therefore, the school in this case should apply for school bus permission in accordance with the licensing procedures.

School bus drivers should obtain certain qualifications to drive school buses. According to the provisions of Article 23 of China's Regulations on School Bus Safety Management, obtaining a school bus driver's license should meet the following conditions: (1) Obtaining the corresponding driver's license and having more than 3 years of driving experience, at least 25 years old but not more than 60 years old; (2) There is no full score record for three consecutive scoring cycles recently; (3) There is no record of traffic accident liability that causes death or serious injury; (4) No record of driving a motor vehicle after drinking or drunk driving, and no record of serious traffic violations such as overcrowding and speeding in driving passenger vehicles in recent 1 year; (5) No criminal record; (6) Physical and mental health, no infectious diseases, no history of diseases that may endanger driving safety, such as epilepsy and mental illness, and no record of alcoholism and drug abuse. At the same time, article 25 of the regulations also stipulates that motor vehicle drivers may not drive school buses without obtaining the school bus driving qualification. Therefore, in this case, the school should employ motor vehicle drivers who have obtained the school bus driving qualification to drive the school bus.
