What is the limit on the standees on a city bus?

In Ontario, city buses are designed to accommodate both seated passengers and standees. While there is no formal limit on the number of standees a bus can carry, the overall safety and comfort of passengers must always be maintained. This means that although buses can allow standees beyond seated capacity, it is crucial for the bus drivers to manage the space to ensure that safety regulations regarding safe movement, access to exits, and overall passenger comfort are upheld.

In general, when buses are crowded, there may be practical limits based on the bus's design, stability during operation, and safety standards such as ensuring proper visibility for the driver. Nevertheless, the absence of a specific legislative limit on standees offers flexibility depending on real-time conditions. Thus, the idea that there is no limit allows for accommodating more passengers during peak times, provided safety is not compromised.
