How to choose a safe seat on public transport

Safety seat: in the seat behind the driver and in the middle because this part of the car is least likely to deform in the event of a collision.

Danger seat: next to the driver, because if an accident happens, the driver will reflexively try to avoid it, thus putting the person sitting next to them in danger.

2. Minibus

Safety seats: similar to cars, when traveling by minibus, the seats behind the driver are always the safest.

Danger seats: next to windows and doors, as if the glass breaks you could be seriously injured. As with cars, it is best to avoid the seat next to the driver.

3. Big bus

Safest seats: on the right side of the aisle (if driving on the right) because this is the seat with the lowest risk of injury in an accident. Middle seats are also considered safe.

Dangerous seats: as in minibuses, it is better to avoid seats next to windows and doors.

4. City buses

Safety seats: the seats should be in the middle of the cabin, in the direction of travel, as they are further away from the rest, so if a collision occurs, this is the area where the occupants are least likely to be injured.

Dangerous seats: the first two rows because these are most vulnerable to flying objects. The same applies to seats next to windows and doors. The rear seats are the most dangerous in the event of a rear-end collision.

5. Train

Safe seat: You should choose the middle car because this is the safest position in case of a collision.

Dangerous seats: Avoid the last and first carriages.

6. Airplane

Experts still debate which seat on a plane is the safest. However, most experts say the back of the plane is less dangerous than the first rows at the front.

However, the most important thing is to stay calm, remember the safety rules and follow the instructions of the crew. In this case, the probability of an accident will be reduced to a minimum.
