Where is the safest place in the Double Decker bus?

Lo told the Post that the middle area of the lower deck of a bus was relatively safe for passengers in a collision. “The area is closer to the centre of gravity of the vehicle, so passengers will absorb less vibration and impact force when the vehicle collides with something,” Lo explained.
