Many commuters are taking advantage of the benefits of public transportation due to congestion on major highways and the cost and environmental impact of owning a vehicle. While bus travel may be fairly safe, accounts of serious bus accidents and injuries are on the rise. When you take a bus, you expect to get to your destination safely, however, that isn’t always the case. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bus accidents occur frequently nationwide.

Bus accidents can be cause by many reasons:

• buses can be difficult to maneuver
• bus drivers may be inadequately trained or fatigued
• pedestrians may be in the roadway
• passengers may become belligerent or out of control

Improper vehicle maintenance can also cause a bus accident. Profits may be more important than regular maintenance and safety to a private company concerned with the bottom line.
