Before leaving the station, the operator will check the vehicle documents, driver's license, journey monitoring equipment, camera, fire extinguisher, first aid kit and other technical safety conditions. Vehicles that do not meet the requirements will be refused service.

In addition, drivers and service staff are strictly prohibited from using alcohol or stimulants; are not allowed to carry more passengers than the prescribed number, speed or overtake recklessly, force passengers or charge higher fares than the listed price. Service attitude must be civilized, providing the best support for the elderly, children and people with disabilities.

For buses, units must increase trips during rush hours, run according to schedules and stop and park according to regulations. Buses participating in inter-provincial transportation must also meet safety standards like fixed-route buses.
