    As i said in another comment, busses intentionally do not have Mansfield Bars so a vehicle rear ending the bus goes under instead of transferring all of the force of the impact into the bus.

      Yeah that’s a fair point, I wonder if is not possible to have something like a Mansfield bar but independent of the passenger zone.

      As I said in another comment the american bus design is dumbass to begin with.

      A Mansfield bar would still prevent decapitation on mild rear-end situation with a smaller car.

        We are all personally responsible for the design of our vehicles so thank you for pointing that out we’ll bring it up at the next meeting

          I love that you said it sarcastically, like it was something impossible.

          That’s exactly how changes happen lmao
