Correct me if I'm wrong but 9 seaters for hire and reward can only be driven by a PCV license holder. Round here they take one seat out and license it as a 8 seater. If I mention it to anybody they mutter about grey areas but I'd say if it's built as a 9 it should be licensed as a 9.

The 9 seats that we talk about includes the driver so they are in fact 8 passenger vehicles.
