Is school bus travel safe?
Research conducted by Transport Canada shows that school bus travel is one of the safest methods of transportation — and is 16 times safter than travelling in the family car, based on the number of passengers and kilometres travelled. Although school buses have an excellent safety record, mishaps can happen, and injuries can result. These can include both children riding on the bus and children who suffer injuries as a result of being hit by their own school bus or by other vehicle.
