To propel with members of the public on board it is necessary for a suitably qualified person to have a clear view of the track ahead, to have access to a vacuum/air brake control to be able to apply the brakes in an emergency and a means of audible approach, eg: horn. The suitably qualified person must give his/her undivided attention to the job and not do anything else.
