摘要

Buses for city transportation are nowadays used by a large number of citizens throughout the world. Safety of passengers is one of the main objectives that must be ensured. In connection with this, the interior design of the bus is one of the main factors that affects passenger safety. In addition, injuries of passengers are one of the main factors that point to the safety of city buses. However, in cases of injuries of travelers on public transport buses, safety indicators are based primarily on injuries recorded in some official facilities, such as hospitals for example. The main assumption in this article is that exist the undocumented injuries of travelers that can indicate the omissions in city bus design or way of transportation. In this article, it is presented a study about the undocumented injuries of travelers on city buses. For the purpose of this study, a new questionnaire was developed, which is intended for the collection of officially undocumented data about injuries of passengers in vehicles for public transportation. Hypotheses directed to the detection of the existence of certain factor that especially contributes to the appearance of injuries were tested.
