Bus Checks During School Trips
August 25, 2025
Parents can feel reassured when their children go on school trips, as the checks on buses are conducted by the Ministry of Education rather than the Department of Road Transport. The officials check the bus's age, drivers' professional licenses, and the condition of the vehicles. The Minister of Transport notes that supervision by the Department of Road Transport is challenging due to limited staff. Representatives of the Ministry of Education are responsible for checking compliance with specifications on the day of the trip. Additionally, random checks are carried out on buses with special licenses.
