The age of our buses is not seen as a hindrance to improving safety on our roads
3 August 2018
Safety experts are calling for improvements to bus safety standards, after two serious crashes in less than a week.
One concern is about the age of the buses currently in operation, but road safety specialist Peter Sheppard says it would be not a big deal to retro fit them.
He says there are a few options which would work on older buses, including a simple lap belt.
However, Sheppard says the ideal would be belts which come across the shoulder.
