Buses are considered public carriers, meaning they are held to a higher standard when operating on the road and must only be operated by professional and experienced drivers. This includes being subject to stricter drugged and drunk driving laws, facing harsher punishments for distracted driving, having to acquire commercial driving licenses, and receiving more thorough training. This applies to both public buses run by government agencies, such as the Regional Transportation District (RTD), as well as private carriers like Greyhound and tour companies. Whenever a driver gets behind the wheel of a larger, powerful vehicle, they must diligently follow the law and avoid putting passengers — and anyone else on the road — in danger. In the wrong hands, a bus can cause widespread devastation, including pile-up collisions. Like semi-trucks, these vehicles are top-heavy and can roll over during high-speed collisions or wide turns. These vehicles also have larger blind spots where careless drivers can side-swipe nearby bicyclists and motorcyclists. At high speeds, their weight and size can cause catastrophic injuries to anyone in their path, especially pedestrians. Bottom line: there is no excuse for operating a bus negligently, and a driver should only get behind the wheel if he or she is properly trained, certified, and capable of operating a large vehicle safely.
