The area behind the wheels of a bus acts as a third-class lever, amplifying the movement due to roadway bumps.

The safest seat on a bus is in the middle (aisle seats), between the two front tires. This is because it is the most protected from potential accidents.
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.
The center. Think of a bus as a see-saw. the ends, where the wheels are, go up and down over bumps. The middle less so, but not as little as the see-saw.
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.
The rear of the bus has a completely raised platform to accommodate the engine and the wheels. Why is the backseat of the bus the bumpiest ride? I assume you're talking about a school bus and if so it's because the back seats are a long way behind the rear axle and the bouncing is accentuated because of that.
The safest seat on a bus is in the middle (aisle seats), between the two front tires. This is because it is the most protected from potential accidents. After finding out from the bus carrier how the seats are located on the bus, try to give preference to seats installed near the aisle.
It's equally as important to pay attention to your posture. Ensure your feet are flat on the floor, and your back should be straight with your shoulders down and wide. Your butt should touch the back of your seat, with your spine lengthened through the back of your neck, and your chin should not be tense.
To find the safest seat on a bus, head for the middle. Choose a row as centrally located as possible and sit on the aisle, choosing the side of the bus farthest from opposing traffic. In America, this means sitting on an aisle seat on the right-hand side of the 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.
If possible, always choose seats in the front or middle of the bus. If your bus has a toilet on it, you will not be happy sitting near its pungent smell. Furthermore, the front seats have much more access to fresh air, minimizing the unpleasant smells and helping you prevent motion sickness.
Adults aged 19 to 64 are advised to try to sit down less throughout the day, including at work, when travelling and at home. Tips to reduce sitting time: stand on the train or bus. take the stairs and walk up escalators.
It's due to resonance. The frequency at which the bus motor/engine vibrates at resonates with either the suspension that the frame of the bus sits on or the frame itself. However, as the bus speeds up, the frequency of the motor vibration changes, therefore it is no longer resonant. As to why?
If the position of the object is nearer to center of gravity, the stability of the object is greater. As the middle section of bus is very close to center of gravity of the bus in comparison to that at ends, so the middle seating is more comfortable.
Traveling SafelyIn fact, when you look more closely at the data, you find that bus and train fatalities occur much less often than airplane crashes. For example, in 2016, there were only 0.7 fatalities per billion passenger miles traveled on a bus versus 1.06 for air travel.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Highway Safety Program Standard Guideline 17 specifically states that every student must be seated before the bus is in motion.
A school bus is most likely to be bouncy due to the air suspension working as well the axle. Charter buses are air suspension but feel like you are air riding because the seats are raise higher from the suspension and the axle. This makes the bus ride more comfortable on long rides and when going on bumpy roads.
The “Danger Zone” is the area on all sides of the bus where children are in the most danger of not being seen by the driver (ten feet in front of the bus where the driver may be too high to see a child, ten feet on either side of the bus where a child may be in the driver's blind spot, and the area behind the bus).
