This is a commercial vehicle license plate. To obtain this licence, the applicant must be employed as a driver by a franchised bus company. Those who do not hold a private minibus license (No.4) or a public minibus license (No.5) may be re-signed without trial after successfully obtaining a patented public minibus license. In addition, at present, all franchised buses in Hong Kong are automatic, while most non-franchised buses are manual. Only drivers who have driven manual transmission vehicles (or passed the make-up test) can sign private car license plate (No.9) and bus license plate (10). If the franchised bus passes smoothly, only automatic transmission can be added. In addition, the holders of private bus license (No.9) and public bus license (No.0/KLOC-0) can drive franchised public buses without signing the category separately on the driving license.
