There is a high reliance on public transportation in large urban areas. People often take buses to commute to school, work, and appointments, or use it for other various activities. Every day, thousands of people board city buses, school buses, commuter buses, and long-distance buses.
This requires the public to trust in the competence and safety measures taken by the bus drivers and companies that employ, train, and maintain them. It is possible that passengers or other motorists may be injured or even killed in bus accidents when drivers or representatives of bus companies act negligently. Buses that drive over the speed limit, tailgate, or engage in other reckless actions all have the potential to severely injure their passengers, innocent bystanders, or pedestrians walking. . Safe driving is essential to public safety at all times.
Bus passengers can suffer injuries if the bus collides suddenly, which can cause them to be either thrown to the ground, against rails, walls, and other objects. In the event of a bus crash, passengers are highly likely to sustain injuries without seat belts. In a bus accident, other parties may also be injured, including the drivers and passengers of other vehicles involved, as well as bicyclists, motorcycle riders, and pedestrians.
