Yesterday, a school bus crashed with a truck in Brampton, Ontario. This accident caused 2 children wounding, one of them got serious injuring. In some cities, children were killed by the school bus accidents few months ago. Many parents start to wonder about the safety of school buses, and most of them want school buses to have seat belts.
Transportation experts believe school buses are actually safer than other forms of school transport, including the family car. School buses are better designed since 1977. It is safer and more comfortable than before. Some school buses even have Global Positioning Systems and computerized controls now. An average of 815 die using all forms of school transport, about 31% per year die while boarding or getting off the bus, so the newest buses designed focus on helping drivers see students outside the bus.
Many people suggest that putting seat belts in school buses can make them safer. Few states already have buses come with seat belts, more and more states consider using seat belts. However, if seat belts are put in school buses, the capacity of the bus will reduce 17%.
Transportation surveys show that the percentage of public school students riding school buses is decreasing. There are a number of reasons. First of all, many busy parents want to spend more time with their children, so they choose driving their children to school. Secondly, some parents not reassure about leaving their children in someone else’s care. Thirdly, many parents recall their own experiences riding school buses in the past and worry their children will have similar experiences.
In my opinion, I believe that school buses are designed better than before. There are many new technologies on the buses that can help drivers see children clearly when children are boarding or getting off. In additional, if the accident happens, seat belts can decrease the dangerous of children. Furthermore, school bus drivers have to take responsibility for children. They should drive more carefully. For example, when they see the yellow light, they should stop the bus instead of running through yellow light. If the buses are better designed and drivers are drive carefully, more and more parents may be pleasure to let their children ride school buses.
