Why is it prohibited for a driver to operate a passenger vehicle carrying more passengers than its rated seating and standing capacity allows?

Pick an answer

1. Capacity limits apply only to vehicles operating on highways, not local routes
2. Exceeding capacity is allowed as long as every passenger can find a place to stand, since standing room is not counted against the rated limit
3. Overloading affects vehicle handling, braking, and structural limits, increasing risk to everyone aboard
4. This rule exists only to control ticket revenue, not for safety reasons
