Ch. 9 · Passenger & Substitute

A passenger on the bus was doing something that violated laws and regulations, but I wanted to concentrate on driving, so I did not do anything as a crew member.

[True / False · Medium]

Answer: ✕ False

Explanation

The Rules of the Road state that bus crew members must take necessary measures such as stopping passengers when they engage in conduct that violates legal provisions inside the vehicle. Even if you want to concentrate on driving, you must fulfill your duty as a crew member.

But if you're driving, shouldn't you just focus on the road and ignore it?

Misaki

That's false. As a crew member, you're required to take action when passengers violate rules — even if it's distracting.

Hikari

So driver duties and crew duties are both mandatory?

Misaki

Exactly. You can't pick and choose. Crew responsibilities don't disappear just because you're behind the wheel.
