Issuing a driving license for passenger transport
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzIf you are transporting passengers in a motor vehicle and a permit is required for this transport in accordance with the Passenger Transport Act, you will need a driving license for passenger transport (FzF) in addition to the general driving license. This also applies if you transport passengers in an ambulance for a fee or for business purposes.
