Yes, an articulated bus. There are none in my state so all P endorsements here are restricted. I’ve never seen an articulated Greyhound, but I guess they could have some. Some large cities have them, but not here.
Removing the Automatic restrictions class A CDL?

If you look at the attached image of Figure 1 from Part 383.91 it clearly shows the image of a class A bus as a tractor trailer and an articulated bus as a class B.

In other words, a Class B bus towing a trailer with a GVWR over 10K pounds is a Class A combination vehicle, just as a Class B straight truck towing a trailer with GVWR >10,000# is a Class A combination vehicle.
As has already been pointed out in a comment above, using a passenger vehicle with an automatic transmission to gain a passenger endorsement would not cause a driver already holding a Class A CDL with no transmission restriction to lose the ability to also drive a non-passenger rated combination vehicle with a manual transmission.
However, if the driver wanted to drive a passenger vehicle with a manual transmission it is my understanding that the test would need to be taken in a passenger vehicle with a manual transmission. Otherwise there would be a transmission restriction placed on the passenger endorsement ONLY, but not on the overall Class A combination vehicle license.Last edited: Apr 16, 2022
