How should you sit in a moving bus?

To avoid swaying, choose a seat close to the centre of gravity of the bus, midway between the front and back wheels. As the bus turns a corner, this point will travel in a smooth circle.

Adjust your headrest so that it is supporting the middle of the back of your head. Keep your shoulders straight as much as possible, and try to avoid hunching forward. While sitting, make sure that both of your feet are resting on the footrest or on the floor in front of you.

Stay in your seat and face forward: never stand on a moving bus. Keep noise level down and do not distract the driver (no yelling or shouting). Do not throw anything on the bus or out the window. Keep hands and feet to yourselves.

The middle Specifically, you should try to avoid the front and rear sections of the bus. Sitting in the middle gives you more protection during all types of crashes, including head-on and rear-end collisions. As far as the middle of the bus goes, your best bet is to sit in a row between the bus's tires.

The front area of the bus is much more stable, meaning there will be less motion information coming to your brain. And even if you start feeling sick, there's much more fresh air at the front of the bus, meaning that this is the best seat for you.

The safest seat in a school bus is generally in the middle, in an aisle seat on the right hand side, between the tires. It's safer if there's a head-on, side and rear-end collision. It is also less bumpy and jarring to the body. In addition, studies show that children are often injured approaching or leaving the bus.

Sit in the front of a car or bus. Choose a window seat on flights and trains. If possible, try lying down, shutting your eyes, sleeping, or looking at the horizon.

Choose a seat toward the middle of the bus If you can't find a seat near the middle of the bus, near the front is your next best choice. This is where an eye mask can come in handy if you're riding at night so that beams from headlights and street lamps don't keep you awake.
