S.L. 499.56 Art. 68IBehaviour of motor route bus passenger.
PART VIII
(1) When a motor route bus is carrying passengers or is waiting to take up passengers, a passenger or an intending passenger shall not, if his condition is such as to be offensive to other passengers, or the condition of his dress or clothing is such that it may reasonably be expected to soil or injure the cushion or cushion covers of the motor route bus or the clothing of other passengers, enter or remain in or on the motor route bus after the driver or the motor route bus inspector shall have warned him either to leave or not to enter the motor route bus. Any person infringing this regulation or causing annoyance or disturbance may be immediately removed from the motor route bus by the Police, independently of any punishment to which the offender may be liable according to law. This provision shall not be used in order to treat a passenger in a discriminatory manner. For the purpose of this regulation, "discriminatory" means affording different treatment to different persons attributable wholly or mainly to their respective descriptions by race, place of origin, political opinions, colour, creed, gender or sexual orientation.
(2) No person shall litter the interior of any motor route bus with any object, or leave motor route bus tickets on the floor or in any part of the motor route bus except in the place indicated for the purpose.
(3) No passenger shall use the bell or other device intended for signalling to the driver to stop except when he wishes to be set down at a bus stop.
(4) No person shall in any way interfere with, obstruct or in any other way molest the driver or other authorized officer of the bus operator in the exercise of their duties nor speak to the driver while the motor route bus is in motion.
(5) Passengers shall give priority to persons with disability, pregnant women, persons carrying infants and the elderly when seated on seats allocated for the priority use of such passengers.
(6) Any passenger who shall refuse to give his name and address to any officer of the Authority or motor route bus inspector or driver, or who shall give a wrong name or address, and any passenger who shall refuse to show any ticket to any officer of the Authority or motor route bus inspector or driver when requested to do so in terms of these regulations, shall be guilty of an offence.
(7) The bus operator shall, on becoming aware that a passenger has committed a breach of these regulations, report the offence to the Police.
