Your bus is equipped with a ramp operated by external power or lift operated by external power. What must you check regularly?

The combination you selected is correct because German traffic regulations emphasize the importance of ensuring the safety of all passengers, especially those with mobility impairments.

1. Checking safety devices, such as the reversing device, is essential to prevent accidents when the bus is in operation. These devices ensure that the bus can safely maneuver, particularly when loading or unloading passengers with the ramp.

2. The indicators and acoustic signals for the ramp are crucial for communication. They inform other road users when the ramp is in use, which is essential for pedestrian safety and traffic awareness.

By regularly checking these components, you ensure compliance with safety regulations outlined in the Road Traffic Act (StVG) and the Passenger Transport Act (PBefG). These regulations are designed to protect passengers and other road users. Failing to check all relevant systems may lead to safety hazards, especially for individuals relying on the ramp. This proactive approach not only adheres to the law but also enhances the accessibility of public transport.
