Millions of Americans rely on public transit as a means of commuting to work and getting around town. Despite being an essential form of transportation, buses have their own injury risks that differ from other vehicle accidents. For example, the law classifies buses, taxis and some commercial trucks as common carriers. This means that bus companies and bus drivers are held to a higher standard of providing public and passenger safety. For buses, their size, lack of seat belts and amount of people they carry often makes these common carrier accidents devastating for passengers, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists.
