Which of these counts as on duty hours for a bus driver?

  1. Lunch breaks

  2. Time spent awaiting assistance after a breakdown or accident, time spent attending an inspection and time spent making repairs

  3. Personal errands

  4. Resting in the bus

The correct answer is: Time spent awaiting assistance after a breakdown or accident, time spent attending an inspection and time spent making repairs

Option A, lunch breaks, does not count as on duty hours because the bus driver is not performing any bus-related tasks during this time. Option C, personal errands, also does not count as on duty hours because the driver is not actively working and is using the bus for personal use. Option D, resting in the bus, may seem like it would count as on duty hours, but in reality, the driver is not actively working during this time and is not responsible for the bus. Only option B includes actual bus-related tasks that the driver may be required to do while on duty and therefore counts as on duty hours. The other options do not fulfill the requirements for on duty hours.
