How many people can sit on the bus? ——Comprehensive analysis from vehicle models to safety standards
Recently, with the arrival of the tourist season and the launch of school summer activities, the passenger capacity of buses has become a hot topic of public concern. This article will combine the popular discussions on the Internet in the past 10 days, and use structured data to answer the question "how many people can sit in a bus" in detail from the perspectives of vehicle classification, regulations and standards, safety factors, etc.
1. Classification of bus models according to number of seats
| car model | length range | Standard number of seats | Maximum number of seats allowed |
|---|---|---|---|
| minibus | Below 6 meters | 10-19 seats | ≤20 seats |
| medium bus | 6-9 meters | 20-35 seats | ≤36 seats |
| Large bus | 9-12 meters | 36-55 seats | ≤56 seats |
| articulated bus | 12 meters or more | 60-80 seats | ≤90 seats |
2. Key factors affecting passenger capacity
1.National regulations and standards: According to the "Technical Conditions for Safety of Motor Vehicle Operations" (GB7258-2017), the distance between passenger seats must not be less than 680mm, and the width of the aisle must be ≥300mm. These rigid regulations directly limit the passenger capacity of the vehicle.
2.Vehicle configuration differences: A recent hot-searched comparison of "luxury buses vs. ordinary buses" shows that the number of seats in vehicles of the same size may be reduced by 15%-30% due to the facilities such as toilets and bars. For example, a certain brand of 12-meter bus has 53 seats in the regular version and only 38 seats in the deluxe version.
| Configuration type | Number of seats in 12-meter model | Number of seats for 9-meter model |
|---|---|---|
| Basic version | 53 seats | 35 seats |
| Business Edition | 45 seats | 30 seats |
| Deluxe Edition | 38 seats | 25 seats |
3.Safety emergency requirements: A bus fire in a certain place on July 15 triggered discussions across the Internet. Experts emphasized that every bus must ensure:
- Number of emergency exits ≥ 2
-Fire extinguisher configuration ≥2
- Seat belt integrity rate is 100%
3. Passenger carrying regulations in special situations
Recent hot events show that the following scenarios require special attention:
-school bus: According to the "School Bus Safety Management Regulations", 10% of empty seats must be reserved
-Tour chartered car: New regulations in many provinces and cities require at least 5% of emergency seats to be reserved
-Inter-provincial transportation: Requires an additional spare seat for the driver
| scene type | seat utilization | special request |
|---|---|---|
| daily commute | 100% | None |
| school bus service | ≤90% | Yellow warning sign |
| Tour chartered car | ≤95% | Equipped with guide seat |
| long distance passenger transport | ≤98% | Equipped with spare driver's seat |
4. Purchase suggestions and popular car model recommendations
Based on recent e-commerce platform search data, the following models have attracted the most attention:
1.Yutong ZK6122H9: Standard 51 seats, actual passenger capacity ranks first in sales all year round
2.Golden Dragon XMQ6129Y: Flexible layout version with adjustable 38-49 seats
3.BYD K8: A model of electric bus, with a standard passenger capacity of 45 people
Experts suggest: When choosing a bus, 10%-15% of flexible space should be reserved based on actual needs, which not only complies with safety regulations but can also cope with temporary demand changes.
