Did You Know?
How safe are coach buses compared to other vehicles?
Motorcoaches are statistically the safest form of highway travel, with a fatality rate of 0.11 per 100 million passenger miles — compared to 0.89 for cars. Their heavy weight, low center of gravity, and professional drivers all contribute. You're about 8 times safer on a coach bus than in a passenger car.
