    Do you have any data or proof to back up your claim that private vehicles are safer than buses in your city? Buses running tires that slip could also be a symptom of underfunding, not an inherent flaw in buses. My car would slip too if i kept summers on it instead of quality winter tires. Buses tend to be much higher off the ground and much larger than everything else on the road, unless the bus rolls over most passengers would walk away with minor injuries in a collision.

      Pff.

      Mister hasn’t ever been in a proper winter or understand how one drives in winter.

      It’s rare they crash, yeah. But it’s happened and and then there’s lots of tiny personal injuries, at the worst. Because of the speed in cities.

      You don’t understand how friction works with larger vehicles. They don’t change them for a reason, not because we’re a cheap country who doesn’t regulate safety.

      You can dig up data if you want to be but thinking a bus is less prone to losing control than a personal vehicles shows your inexperience.
