b) The terms "crew" and "volume of luggage compartment" are added (see
c) The definitions of the terms "surface area available for passenger compartment" and "surface area available for standing passenger" are changed (see
3.4 and 3.5; see
3.5 of the 2005 edition);
d) The calculation method of the available surface area is added (see Chapter 4);
e) The average passenger mass is changed (see Table 1; see Table 1 of the 2005 edition);
f) The method for calculating the number of passengers and crew is changed (see Chapter 6; see Chapter 7 of the 2005 edition);
g) The method for calculating the loaded luggage mass of a bus is changed (see Chapter 7; see Chapter 8 of the 2005 edition);
h) The calculation method for the maximum design pay mass of a bus is changed (see Chapter 8; see Chapter 9 of the 2005 edition).
