Ah yes, a bus. The obvious solution to large, heavy vehicles on the road.

Actually yes. Buses are driven by professional drivers who have to pass through a much more aggressive filter than your average SUV drive does.

When I'm out driving, walking or biking in Seattle I worry much much less about bus drivers doing something unpredictable than I do about light vehicle drivers.

one bus means 30 fewer heavy vehicles on the road
