    It sounds like this post is about pedestrians not paying attention and walking into traffic, though. It doesn’t matter if they’re driving too fast, if someone’s not paying attention and walks out in front of a bus…

    I think you’re making a different but equally valid argument.

      People walk out in front of buses all the time. Know what happens? The bus stops. Because it’s going at a reasonable speed and driven by a driver that’s actually good at driving. The only time this isn’t the case is when it’s a long-distance bus going at highway speeds. It’s really simple; replacing multiple vehicles driven by amateurs with one vehicle driven by a professional will save lives, regardles of what pedestrians are doing.
