Very helpful member
2.1. In general, motorcycles, mopeds and category L vehicles that have two seats (driver and passenger), two people may travel. The use of gloves will be **mandatory** for the passenger and also for the driver in the case of motorcycles and mopeds intended for shared use. For these purposes, motorcycle protection gloves will be accepted.
2.2. In transport of people in vehicles with up to **nine seats**, including the driver, all seats may be occupied as long as they **all live together.**
2.3. In transport of people in vehicles with up to **nine seats**, including the driver, when not all of them live in the same address, **50% of the available seats may be occupied**, provided that they respect the maximum possible distance between occupants.
2.4. In vehicles in which, due to their technical characteristics, only one row of seats is available, e.g. heavy vehicles (lorries), vans, or others, a **maximum of two people** may travel, provided they keep the maximum possible distance (this is the case if the passengers do not live together).
2.5. In the case of buses, in which all occupants must be seated, **50% of the seats may be used**. When the occupancy level allows it, the maximum separation between users must be obtained.

In urban and peri-urban public collective passenger transport, in which there are platforms enabled for the transport of **standing passengers**, 50% of the seated places may be occupied, and an occupancy reference of two users per square meter will be maintained in the area enabled to travel standing, having to ensure, in any case, the greatest separation between passengers.
2.7. In vehicles with an odd number of seats the occupancy will be **rounded up** from 50%. (E.g. in cars with 5 seats, the maximum number of travellers is 3).
2.8. Whenever a person travels in a vehicle who does not live in the same address as the other passengers, the use of a mask will be mandatory for all of them.
2.9. The continuous renewal of the interior air of the vehicles should be maintained, preferably through natural ventilation with the partial or total opening of the windows when it is technically possible and the weather conditions allow it.
