Open Exam Prep

Dubai RTA bus learners must be at least 21 for light bus or heavy bus categories, meet the stricter bus eyesight standard of 6/6 in both eyes with or without spectacles, train through the RTA driving-licence process, and pass the required Knowledge, Yard, and Road tests. RTA defines light buses as buses whose passenger count does not exceed 26 excluding the driver and publishes a Truck and Bus Handbook covering inspections, passenger safety, stops, turns, clearance, braking, signs, emergencies, and safe driving. The accessible official sources used here do not publish a fixed bus knowledge-test question count, time limit, pass mark, or pass rate.

1What minimum age does RTA publish for a Dubai light bus driving licence category?
A.18 years old
B.20 years old
C.21 years old
D.25 years old
Explanation: RTA lists light buses separately and states that the customer must not be younger than 21 years old. Do not apply the lighter vehicle age rule to passenger bus categories.
2Under RTA category wording, a light bus licence covers buses with passenger capacity not exceeding what number, excluding the driver?
A.14 passengers
B.20 passengers
C.26 passengers
D.35 passengers
Explanation: RTA describes light buses as vehicles whose number of passengers does not exceed 26 without the driver. The driver is not included in that passenger count.
3What minimum age does RTA publish for a Dubai heavy bus driving licence category?
A.18 years old
B.20 years old
C.21 years old
D.23 years old
Explanation: RTA lists heavy buses among the categories for which the customer must not be younger than 21 years old. Heavy bus licensing should not be confused with heavy equipment age wording.
4Which eyesight standard does RTA publish for light and heavy bus drivers?
A.Both eyes must be 6/6 with or without spectacles
B.One eye may be blind if the other eye is 6/6
C.6/18 in each eye is enough for all bus drivers
D.Only colour vision is tested
Explanation: RTA gives a stricter bus standard: both eyes must be 6/6 with or without spectacles. The lighter vehicle vision alternatives are not the bus standard.
5Which RTA tests are part of the normal bus licence path after the training stages?
A.Knowledge, Yard, and Road tests
B.Only a written essay
C.Only a Road test
D.Only a parking test
Explanation: RTA names the Knowledge, Yard, and Road tests in the driving licence process. A bus candidate should prepare for both theory and practical testing stages.

A.The training file is suspended
B.The licence is issued automatically
C.The customer changes to motorcycle category
D.Only the eye test is cancelled
Explanation: RTA states that the training file is suspended if the customer does not take one of the RTA tests within 6 months from the last appointment date. This applies to tests such as Knowledge, Yard, or Road.

B.Dubai Metro Passenger Guide
C.Marine Transport Manual
D.Parking Tariff Catalogue
Explanation: The RTA Truck and Bus Handbook is the bus and heavy-vehicle safe-driving source. The Light Motor Vehicle Handbook remains useful for general Dubai road rules.

A.General road rules from the Light Motor Vehicle Handbook
B.Only public transport route numbers
C.Only parking payment zones
D.Only vehicle registration renewal steps
Explanation: The RTA Truck and Bus Handbook says drivers need general road-rule knowledge and points to the Light Motor Vehicle Handbook for that background. Bus-specific skill builds on the common road rules.

A.RTA publishes the exact time limit and pass mark
B.RTA publishes the licence path but not a fixed bus knowledge-test count, time, or pass mark in the reviewed text
C.RTA says there is no knowledge test for buses
D.RTA publishes a pass rate for every institute
Explanation: The reviewed RTA service text confirms the bus categories and Knowledge Test process, but it does not publish a fixed bus item count, time limit, pass mark, or pass rate. Those values should be confirmed directly with RTA or an approved institute.

About the RTA Bus Test Exam

The Dubai RTA bus knowledge-test target is valid because RTA publishes light bus and heavy bus driving licence categories, a bus/heavy-vehicle licensing process that includes a Knowledge Test, and an official Truck and Bus Handbook. This practice bank prepares learners for the theory knowledge expected of light bus and heavy bus candidates: RTA licensing rules, passenger safety, bus stops, boarding and alighting, mirrors and blind spots, cut-in and turning clearance, vehicle checks, braking and stopping distance, heavy-vehicle signs, weather, breakdowns, evacuation, fatigue, and professional conduct. RTA does not publish every operational detail, such as a fixed bus theory item count, time limit, pass mark, or pass rate, in the accessible official service text used here, so those values are identified as unpublished rather than guessed.

RTA bus licensing includes Knowledge, Yard, and Road tests. The official fixed knowledge-test item count for light bus or heavy bus was not published in the accessible RTA service text used for this bank.

RTA Bus Test Study Tips from Top Performers

1Start with the RTA Truck and Bus Handbook, then review the Light Motor Vehicle Handbook for general road rules, signs, and markings.
2Memorize the RTA-published bus process facts: minimum age 21, light bus passenger count not exceeding 26 excluding the driver, bus eyesight standard of 6/6 in both eyes, and Knowledge/Yard/Road tests.
3Practise bus-stop scenarios carefully: approach early, stop smoothly, monitor doors and mirrors, assist passengers, and pull out only after re-checking traffic and passenger safety.
4Drill mirror and blind-spot routines for long vehicles, especially before lane changes, turns, reversing, and moving out from stops.
5Treat cut-in, height clearance, width restrictions, wet roads, aquaplaning, tailgaters, and emergency warning equipment as core bus-safety topics.
6Do not memorize unofficial logistics as facts. Where RTA has not published question count, time limit, pass mark, or pass rate in the accessible service text, verify with RTA or your institute.
