Seriously: school buses CAN'T be the safest design as is. And they're so inefficient! What cartel is behind it?https://twitter.com/emptywheel/status/643503918463455236 …
@emptywheel @DaveMc99TA Yeah, buses have different center of gravity. I know it sounds like an excuse but lemme see if i can find paper.

@zeynep Right: but do school buses do better than city transit w/o that center of gravity? & Do school buses need clearance?@DaveMc99TA -
@emptywheel@DaveMc99TA The current design (large and heavy and compartmentalized) is actually pretty safe. But yeah, also slow but ok. - Show replies

@emptywheel@DaveMc99TA So basically bus compartmentalization works very well and is a specific design. http://www.nhtsa.gov/Vehicle+Safety/Seat+Belts/Seat+Belts+on+School+Buses+--+May+2006 … -
@emptywheel@DaveMc99TA Also considering the issues that may arise, not being belted (and able to get out themselves quickly) is good design - Show replies
