According to the contract between the district and the bus operator, drivers are expressly prohibited from making phone calls during working hours - with the exception of calls required for business purposes using a hands-free system. In addition, in the event of conflicts between passengers, drivers must take the necessary measures, including asking passengers to leave the vehicle or calling the police. Finally, the General Conditions of Carriage of the Stuttgart Transport and Tariff Association (VVS) must also be observed. Fastening seat belts and observing the speed limit are regulated by the Road Traffic Act and do not require any contractual regulations.
