In what scenario is it permissible to let passengers disembark a bus on the road?

Allowing passengers to disembark a bus on the road is permissible primarily when it is unsafe to do otherwise. This means that if a bus cannot safely pull over to a designated stop due to surrounding conditions, such as obstructed visibility, heavy traffic, or when no appropriate bus stop exists nearby, it may be necessary to allow passengers to exit directly on the road.

This approach prioritizes passenger safety by ensuring they do not remain on the bus longer than necessary in potentially hazardous situations. In regards to the other scenarios mentioned, they involve conditions that typically do not meet safety protocols: peak traffic hours can increase risks, bus-only lanes are designated for bus travel without stops, and intersections may add further complexity regarding the safe disembarkation of passengers.
