Get on board this Bus Safety Week

10 Jan 2025

Bus Safety Week will run from Monday 17 to Sunday 23 February 2025.

As part of our Be Bus Aware campaign, this initiative has been held annually since 2015 to remind all road users how to stay safe on and around buses.  

Buses are large, heavy vehicles that can take a long time to stop and have wider blind spots. Whether you’re walking, driving or riding, give buses plenty of space and don’t expect the driver to be able to see you or stop in time to avoid colliding.

Since 2019* there have been 45 fatalities from bus crashes (including minibuses) in NSW. The 45 fatalities included 13 pedestrians, 6 drivers (of vehicles other than a bus), 7 motorcyclists, 4 bus drivers, 11 bus passengers, 3 passengers (of vehicles other than a bus), and 1 pedal cyclist.
