Explanation: To drive a school bus carrying passengers in Ontario, you must hold a school bus endorsement license, which is Class B (for large school buses) or Class E (for small school buses up to 24 passengers). A Class F license only permits driving non-school passenger buses and ambulances.
5For how long is a completed daily vehicle inspection report valid in Ontario?

A.Before driving the vehicle for the first time on any day
B.Only at the end of each driving shift
C.Every 12 hours of active driving time

A.A flat tire or cracked wheel rim
B.A broken windshield wiper fluid level sensor
C.A small tear in a passenger seat cushion

9If you detect a major defect on your bus during a pre-trip inspection, what is the correct course of action?

Class F: Suggested Study Strategy

1Review the Official MTO Bus Handbook thoroughly, focusing on differences between minor and major defects in Schedule 2.
2Memorize the emergency vehicle exception rules: you must bring the ambulance to a full stop before entering a red light or stop sign intersection.
3Understand the strict rules on railway crossings: a bus must stop not less than 5 metres from the nearest rail, open a door to look and listen both ways for trains, and cross only when it is safe (without changing gears on the tracks).
4Know the passenger capacity limit: Class F is capped at exactly 24 passengers maximum.
5Study wheelchair passenger securement, including proper usage of floor-anchored belts and securing wheelchairs in a forward-facing position.
