What Should Drivers Know About Crashes Involving Transit Buses?
Transit buses are larger and heavier than most passenger vehicles, which can affect the outcome of a collision. Their size can also make maneuvering and stopping different from smaller vehicles.
Drivers should maintain a safe distance around buses and remain alert when they stop, change lanes, or pull away from a curb. Checking blind spots before changing lanes can help reduce the risk of a collision.
When multiple vehicles are involved, traffic can become difficult to navigate while damaged vehicles are removed. Motorists should slow down near the scene and follow temporary traffic controls until the roadway is clear.
