Are taxi passengers required to wear a seat belt?

Correct answer: Yes; in urban traffic, those shorter than 135 centimeters may ride in the back without a child restraint system.

Yes. Taxi passengers must wear seat belts just as they would in any passenger car, in both the front and rear seats. The taxi-specific exception applies to children under 135 cm tall. When the taxi is traveling in urban traffic, they may ride without their child restraint system if they sit in a rear seat. If the taxi goes out onto the open road, the child needs their restraint system.
