No citation for your nonsense either so I actually went and looked. It turns out busses get into accidents more often per mile travelled [1]: "the number of bus accidents per million passenger miles (3.04) is comparable to the number of car accidents per million driven miles (3.21)" considering that a bus has more than 1 passenger on average it means their accident rate per mile travelled is way higher than a car.

- Arainach 23d agoNot called out in that study: fault i.e. is this buses causing accidents or drivers hitting buses
- pandaman 23d agoIf you are implying that despite their superior driving skills and care for safety the bus drivers suffer from crazy drivers just ramming them due to being a big target then I'd advise you to compare accident rate on delivery trucks - they are roughly the same size as busses and drive the same streets in the same manner (with a lot of stops). I don't see any published study but it's easy to pull crash reports from the carriers, they are surprisingly similar at ~0.4 per 1M miles, much lower than cars.
