Just a week ago a bus fell off a bridge near Krems in Lower Austria, and now a serious accident involving a Flixbus took place in Carinthia, killing a 19-year-old from Upper Austria. Bus travel is generally considered significantly less dangerous than driving, but when an accident happens with a bus, things can quickly turn dramatic.
A study by ‘Allianz auf Schiene’ on serious accidents involving cars, buses or trains between 2012 and 2021 has shown that the bus is the safest means of transport after the train: while 0.03 people have fatal accidents per billion passenger kilometers on the train. . is 0.13 by bus and 1.65 by car. The risk of injury in accidents with a bus is 4.7 times lower than in a car, but compared to traveling by train it is approximately 35 times higher in a bus. One reason is that coaches can quickly become a life-threatening fall in the event of an accident.
