Which seat is the best in a bus?

What is the safest seat on a school bus?

Okay, safest seat on the bus…hmm.

Middle row, yeah, that’s what I always thought. Driver’s side aisle seat… Wait, is that right? Why the aisle?

• Further from impact, makes sense.
• Aisle gives a bit of space maybe?

Like a buffer. Oh god, buses. Seatbelts are the real key though, right?

My kid takes the bus now, scary. They even have seatbelts! Use them! Wish we did back in ’98, ugh.

• Front impact is bad.
• Side impact also bad, duh.

Wait, middle row? Back row always seemed kinda fun, but def not safe.

I always sat in the back row with Sarah, the one with the ripped seats, lol.

What is the safest seat on a bus?

Oh, the safest seat on a bus? It’s like asking which deckchair is furthest from the Titanic’s iceberg. Fun, right?

• Middle seats win, allegedly. Further from chaos. The window is tempting.

• Rear-facing? Hah! Only if you enjoy seeing accidents before they happen. Rear view mirror time!

• Avoid windows/aisles. I mean, duh. Instant pancake status in a smash. More leg room though.

Think of the bus as a metal sardine can. You’re the sardine. Middle sardine is best sardine.

My aunt Mildred swore by the front seat for “optimal viewing.” She also believed in healing crystals, so…

Speaking of safety, what’s safer, a bus or walking across my kitchen floor after I’ve made cookies? Hint: It’s never the kitchen.

Buses > Kitchens (post-cookie baking).

Where is the safest seat in a bus?

Ugh, buses. Safest seat, huh? Gotta be, like, middle, right?

• Aisle seat… yeah.

Between the… front tires? That’s kinda weird, never thought of that. Wonder why.

• Maybe less impact there?

Okay, so middle aisle near front tires. Bus company knows best.

• Ask them first!

Aisle seat is a must. Protected from…what exactly? Side impacts, maybe? Gotta avoid the windows, obviously.

• Windows = bad news.

Middle, aisle, front-ish. Got it. But buses are still scary, TBH. Safer than a motorcycle, I guess!

• Safety first.
• Buses for me.

Front tires… it’s so specific. What if it’s a double decker? Top or bottom??

• Double decker safety… a new question.

Buses Seats Explained:

• Front tire proximity: Supposedly, these areas experience less deformation during a collision.
• Aisle advantage: Offers a buffer from external impacts, particularly side collisions.
• Middle section: Generally avoids the direct impact zones in head-on or rear-end collisions.
• Bus carrier insight: Seat placement can vary, confirming specifics with the bus company matters.

Which is best seat in a bus?

Front seat. Driver’s there. Awake. Safer. Back? Nah. Less aware. My bus to Philly last week… crazy driver. Middle seats bumpy. Window seat? Always window. Love watching blur. Trees. Houses. Aisle seat? Bathroom breaks. Easy access. But stuck with people bumping. My friend Sarah… always gets carsick. Back of bus. Ugh. Smell of exhaust sometimes. Worst. Remember bus ride to Boston in 2023… traffic. Never again. Front seat best. Views. Less motion sickness. Though, close to driver’s radio sometimes. Loud music. Annoying.

• Safety: Front seat, near driver.
• Views: Window seat, front or back.
• Convenience: Aisle seat, easy access.
• Comfort: Depends. Middle seats bumpy. Back seats smelly.

Traffic. The bane of my existence. Boston traffic. 2023 trip. Nightmare. Avoid back. Escape route. Front row escape. Quick. Safety first. Always. Unless… scenic route. Back seat? Photos. Mountains. Ocean. Hmm. Decisions. Front. Always front. Except that one time… Grand Canyon. Back seat view. Amazing.
