Which of these are frequent reasons that bus passengers get hurt?
Correct answer: All of these are correct.
Answer options
- ARiders being on their feet rather than seated
- BThe driver speeding up or braking too suddenly
- CAll of these are correct Correct
Why
Passengers who are standing can easily lose their balance, and a sharp start, turn or stop can throw them off their feet. Driving smoothly and waiting until riders are seated before moving prevents many of these injuries.
Tip Abrupt stops and doors that move too fast are behind a large share of bus injuries, so make sure riders are secure before you move.
