Dolan Springs AZ BusDefintions

This document discusses bus definitions and classifications. It provides details on a Dolan Springs Bus, including its passenger capacity, length, weight rating, and chassis type. It also outlines four regulatory definitions for "bus" with differing minimum passenger capacity requirements. Additionally, it examines bus body type classifications used in FARS, including school bus, cross country/intercity bus, transit bus, and others. The document concludes that while NTSB first recommended standard bus definitions in 1999, DOT modal agencies still lack consistent terminology and criteria for classifying buses.
