‘Bus usage is currently at its highest level since 1968’
A rise in the demand for passenger vehicles has brought new challenges in safety and security. Large vehicles require skill and concentration to drive, but added to this, distractions from passengers and frequent stops put additional pressures on those driving buses and coaches. Double decker buses currently carry approximately 70 passengers but new vehicle design means that capacity is increasing. As well as a large number of customers to contend with, drivers must manoeuvre these large and heavy vehicles through congested traffic and watch for pedestrians crossing or hailing a bus. A moments inattention can have tragic consequences.
Incidents in the industry include;
- Reversing accidents due to rear spot
- Forward collisions with pedestrians due to front blind spot
- Collisions with cyclists due to nearside blind spot
- False insurance claims for damages and personal injury
- Violence amongst passengers
- Vandalism
