Bus Accident Statistics

Buses are usually a good way to get around when you’re on the move. However, when bus accidents do happen, they can be very bad and have long-term consequences.

It is very common for people to use buses to get around the city. About 5% of Californians use public transportation to get to work, which means that millions of people ride buses each year to get to work. Getting around big cities is easy with the LA Metro, the Amtrak Thruway bus, the California Rail, or the public bus lines in the city where you live.

On the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration website, 3,978 large buses and trucks were involved in fatal crashes last year, which is 5% less than in 2013. Between 2004 and 2014, intercity buses made up just 13% of all buses involved in fatal crashes.

School buses and transit buses made up 41% and 33% of all buses involved in fatal crashes, respectively.
