Many public transportation entities, such as public buses and trains, are considered common carriers. In some states, school buses are also common carriers. These entities offer services to the public with the authority or license of a regulatory governmental body. Common carriers are required to exercise the highest degree of care and diligence to make sure passengers travel safely. However, liability can be more difficult to prove when the at-fault public transportation entity is owned by a state or a municipality, as many public transportation entities are. Whether an at-fault public transportation entity is public or private may make a difference to the ease with which you can recover for an accident in which you are injured.

For anyone who’s been on those buses going up or down the ramps. Some of these drivers fly thru these tight spaces at dumb speeds. I always thought like what if they hit the concrete barrier. Well my question was answered
