Bus accidents can pose significant dangers to passengers, pedestrians, and other vehicles on the road. The sheer size and weight of buses amplify the impact of collisions, often leading to severe injuries or fatalities. Passengers aboard buses may be at risk of injury due to sudden stops, sharp turns, or inadequate safety measures. Pedestrians and cyclists sharing the road face heightened vulnerability, as buses have limited maneuverability and longer stopping distances. Moreover, bus accidents can cause traffic disruptions and road closures, impacting commuters and emergency response times. Therefore, ensuring strict adherence to safety protocols, maintaining well-trained drivers, and regularly inspecting and maintaining bus fleets are crucial in mitigating the risks associated with bus accidents and preserving public safety.
