Bus Driver Study Module, Licensing, Classes and Keeping Your Licence

For the Ontario bus driver knowledge test (Classes B, C, E and F). This study material is derived from the facts in the Official MTO Bus Handbook and written in ExamCAN's own words. It is preview content pending review by a human subject-matter expert, always confirm against the current handbook on ontario.ca before relying on it. ExamCAN is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Government of Ontario or the Ministry of Transportation.

Ontario splits bus driving into four licence classes because a 50-passenger coach, a 15-passenger shuttle, and a school bus full of children each demand different skills and carry different risks. The class you need depends on two questions: how many seats does the vehicle have, and is it a school-purposes bus (one used to carry children to and from school).

🧠 Memory hook: B and E are the school classes (think "B for Bus to school"). C and F are the non-school classes. Within each pair, the earlier letter covers the bigger vehicle.

Recall: What two facts about a vehicle decide which class you need?
