The Current Legislation Limits Passenger Transportation on Motorcycles, But a Bill Seeks to Change This Scenario.

Did you know that the law prohibits paid passenger transportation on motorcycles? This issue has gained attention recently in discussions about transportation apps like Uber and 99 Moto. Despite the growing popularity of these platforms, Brazilian legislation still does not allow motorcyclists to conduct paid passenger transport.

In a recent interview, lawyer Renato Campestrini highlighted an important point: Brazilian legislation, in effect since the approval of Federal Law No. 13,640 of 2018, restricts paid transportation of passengers only to drivers with a B-category license or higher. This automatically excludes motorcycles, as they are driven by those with an A-category license.

Motorcyclist Cannot Work with Passenger Transportation

Did you know the law prohibits paid passenger transportation on motorcycles and can result in fines of R$ 4 thousand!

According to Article 11-B of this law, private paid transportation requires, among other requirements, that the driver has a National Driver’s License (CNH) suitable for four-wheeled vehicles or more. Thus, the practice of paid passenger transportation by motorcyclists is considered irregular and subject to fines, which in some regions can reach nearly R$ 4 thousand.

The Bill Proposes Changes

Bill 271/23, currently in progress, aims to change this scenario for motorcycles. The proposal suggests a national regulation that includes motorcyclists among the providers of individual passenger transportation services. This change would allow drivers with a type A CNH to operate legally in the sector, promoting greater accessibility and competition.

According to Deputy Amom Mandel, the exclusion of motorcyclists was an oversight of the current legislation. He believes that including this category will bring significant benefits, such as:

Increased availability of accessible transportation;
Expansion of the number of service providers;
Encouragement of the collaborative economy.

If approved, the bill could directly impact cities, increasing mobility and reducing costs for users.

As the debate progresses, it is essential to understand that the law prohibits paid passenger transportation on motorcycles, but the pressure for a review of this rule is only growing. The approval of Bill 271/23 could transform the market for urban transportation, balancing safety, accessibility, and innovation.
