When you step onto a bus (city, tour, school, etc), you are putting trust in the driver’s ability to keep you safe and that the owner of the bus has kept up the maintenance of the bus. Especially because most buses do not require seat belts, it is crazy that we often feel secure when riding buses. But buses drive around with other cars and are at risk of being involved in an accident. In the United States, there has been a steady increase in the number of bus involved accidents. The U.S. Department of Transportation reports that in 2016, there are around 69,000 bus accidents, mainly public transportation. There are many causes of bus accidents, including a driver that is fatigued, distracted, or intoxicated, particularly a driver who was using some type of electronic device at the time of an accident.
