I would imagine that a very large portion of all deadly crashes (buses included) involve a car. Cars are pretty safe for their drivers; they are just very dangerous for everybody else. So, if you split 'passenger deaths' by 'vehicle category' you're going to have a lot of situations where a car hits a bus/cyclist/pedestrian, the driver survives, and whoever they hit does not. This creates misleading statistics.
