Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, to ensure their own safety and the safety of others.
Yes. As the driver, you must properly position the objects and animals you carry so they do not restrict your movement, block your view, or distract you. This protects you, your passengers, and other road users. It applies to every vehicle, not just buses. In the image, the dog is traveling in a pet carrier in the trunk.
