Accidents involving tourist buses make travelers wonder how to avoid falling victim to them. How do you choose the safest places?
Basically, the bus is considered sufficient. Due to its size and weight, it practically doesn’t care about meeting smaller brothers, such as cars. The only real threat is heavy vehicles and loss of control, which can be caused by anything and is fraught with rollover. Even in the worst cases, the rigid body pillars protect passengers quite reliably, especially those who have prudently chosen the safest places.
Most long-distance buses are equipped with seat belts, which for some reason passengers ignore. But in vain. After all, their use several times reduces the likelihood of serious injury in a collision.
Inspect escape hatches and escape routes. In order not to seem paranoid and not to sow panic, do it unnoticed by your neighbors. Believe me, in a critical situation you will have no time to consider the instructions near the hatch, and "pulling out the cord and squeezing out the glass" is easy only in theory.
You should always keep your documents and money with you while traveling. This is an axiom that everyone knows. But for some reason, a tourist first-aid kit, carefully prepared at home, is thrown to the very bottom of a suitcase, which, of course, is in the trunk. And, by the way, even an elementary bandage or tourniquet, which is at hand in case of an accident, can save someone's life. Therefore, carry it in your carry-on baggage.
Where is it safer to sit on the bus
With a frontal impact, which is considered the most common and dangerous, the passengers in the front rows have the least chance of surviving, so we sweep them aside right away. In particular, a place to the right of the driver should be avoided..
- Firstly, foreign objects often fly into the huge windshield and fragments fly directly at you.
- Secondly, in the event of an accident, you will be the first contender to fly through the same glass.
- And, thirdly, in a critical situation, when the driver realizes that a collision is inevitable, he will instinctively deflect the blow from himself, substituting you for it.
For the same reason, the only safe places in the front of the bus are the seats behind the driver. If, moreover, they are located backs forward, then this is generally a chic option.
The next most popular one is a blow from behind by a neglected sponsor of a future bus repair. Well, if it is "Oka", and if a crane with an arrow or a pipe carrier? Therefore, for reassurance, we discard as dangerous, not only the seats in the last row, but the entire "stern" as a whole (3-4 rows of seats). In addition to this, the rear seats are not only safe, but also comfortable. It is uncomfortable to sit there, because the shaking is felt the most, and in addition, the exhaust gases enter.
Thus, we are left with the middle of the cabin. But let's not forget about the likelihood of a side impact. Which side is more likely to get it? Correctly, from the side of the carriageway, that is, on the left. Who will be hit first? Those sitting by the window, of course. So, by elimination, we figured out which seats on the bus are the safest.
It is safest to occupy the seats located in the middle of the passenger compartment, to the right of the aisle.
Even if, by an incredible accident, the blow hits the right side of the bus, you will have additional protection in the form of a more inquisitive passenger who, to the detriment of safety, preferred to admire the scenery outside the window.
An additional bonus of these places can be considered that, in case of loss of control, when the bus hurls in different directions, the amplitude here will be minimal. This means you have a better chance of staying in the saddle than the front and rear passengers flying around the cabin. And if there is an additional door in the middle of the bus, consider it a jackpot. Because sitting in the safest place on the bus is only half the battle, you still need to be able to quickly get out of it in the event of an accident.
If collision is imminent ...
The first sign of an impending disaster is that you begin to drift towards the curb or oncoming lane. First of all, you need to call out to the driver if he has fallen asleep. On a long-distance bus, this is not uncommon. If not, it means that he already sees the threat and is trying to avoid it. In the remaining seconds, you need to have time to group and take the most secure position.
Lean forward slightly and rest your hands barely bent at the elbows against the back of the front seat. Tilt your head to your hands, as close as possible. Straighten your legs and rest them on the floor, while trying not to shove them too much under the front seat. It is in this position that you have the most chances to survive and not get serious injuries.
If the bus “stayed on its feet” and kept working, consider that you got off with a slight fright. If it lies on its side or roof - the most interesting is yet to come. A fire can break out at any moment and in a matter of minutes the interior will turn into ashes. There is no need to succumb to general panic and break into a locked door, creating a crush.
Remember, at the very beginning, we examined the emergency exits and hatches? Now is the time to tackle them. If they do not give in, you need to break the glass. Just do not try to do it with your foot or, even more so, with your hand, as they do in the movies. At best, you will be wasting your time, at worst, you will be injured.
If the accident was really serious (and, judging by the layouts, it is), then, looking around, you will find pieces of handrails, fragments of racks or other heavy metal objects. Use them to slap on the glass, having closed your eyes beforehand.
Help the wounded to get out, move away to an unattainable distance in the event of an explosion, and wait for rescuers. And keep in mind, your trip could have ended much worse if you did not know which seats on the bus are the safest ...
In modern bus fleets, you can find a huge number of modifications of buses, differing not only in the number of seats, but also in their layout in the cabin. There is no single scheme common to all manufacturers. And not only manufacturing companies, but also the carriers themselves can re-equip the salon at their discretion. Therefore, even equipment of the same brand and one year of manufacture may have a different number of seats and their numbering.
The only requirement for such actions is not to violate the established safety rules.
You can see the most common seating arrangements in the cabins of long-distance buses in the photo:
Seating arrangement and numbering in MAN touring vehicles
The MAN Lion's tourist equipment has several modifications, which differ in the number of seats and the order of their numbering. The typical model has 59 seats. Numbering starts from the very first right-hand seat. In cars with 49 seats, the order is different. Numbering starts from the second row on the right side. And the seats in the first row are numbered 46, 47, 48, 49.
Location of seats in various modifications of PAZ buses
The total capacity of the PAZ-32053 modification is 41 passengers, seats for a seat - 25. The numbering in the cabin is very confused. The first three seats, located to the right of the driver and facing the passenger compartment, are numbered 23, 24, 25. Further on the left are numbers 5 and 6, located parallel to the axis of the passenger compartment, and only after them on the left are seats 1, 2, 3, 4. The right row begins with numbers 21, 22. Other options are possible.
The PAZ 4234 model belongs to the small class bus vehicles. It provides 25 seats and 18 more passengers can ride while standing.
In the photo of the seating arrangement inside the bus, you can see that all the seats, except for the rear one on the right, are located in the direction of the car. In the modification, which has 30 passenger seats, there are three combined seats in front, facing towards the interior of the passenger compartment. In the latter case, the numbers of the first three seats are 30, 1, 2. Seats 3 and 4 are located in the row on the left. Further, all numbers follow in order.
In PAZ VECTOR NEXT, depending on the purpose (urban / suburban), there are several options for completing the interior space.
Seats can be 17, 21, 25.
Layouts of seats in KavZ buses
KavZ buses are middle class vehicles used on suburban and intercity routes. The number of passenger seats is 31, the total capacity is 54 people.
All seats are located in the direction of the salon. The numbers start from the first row, on the right side, with the seat next to the aisle.
The KavZ 4238 equipment has, depending on the modification, 34, 35 or 39 seats. Standard numbering. The models are used for commuter and intercity routes, as well as school cars.
Layout schemes for LiAZ buses
Long-distance models LiAZ 525662 have 44 soft adjustable chairs, located facing in the direction of travel. Numbering starts with the seat located in the first row on the right, near the aisle.
Urban semi-low-floor and low-floor LiAZ cars have a small number of passenger seats - 18, 25 or 28, depending on the modification. The absence of steps at the entrance and the location of the seats provide quick and convenient entry / exit of passengers.
Seat layouts in Hyundai bus vehicles
The Hyundai Universe high-capacity tourist buses have 43 or 47 passenger seats, separated from the driver's seat by a solid partition. To the right of the driver is a guide seat. The numbers start from the left seat of the first row.
At YarCamp you can choose a passenger bus for city, suburban, intercity routes with the required cabin layout. Most of the models are in stock.
So, you are probably wondering - what are these buses on which you will make your wonderful trips to different cities and countries?
These are machines specially designed for tourism, which are produced by a wide variety of companies. Some of you, of course, know, for example, Mercedes, Neoplan, but most of the companies that produce tourist buses (Van-Hool, Setra) are usually little known among people not associated with the tourist business, but at the same time - these companies are "monsters "in their field.
Moving away from stereotypes and big names, let's find out what kind of buses are there for tourist trips? First of all, they can be divided into one-story, one-and-a-half and two-story. Decent companies that take care of their customers use only one-and-a-half and double-decker buses, which are considered the most convenient for tourist purposes.
Differences between one and a half and double decker buses
The difference between these buses is that in a one and a half bus, the floor with passengers is raised relative to the level of the drivers and is the only passenger floor, while the double-decker bus has a first floor where passengers can also sit. Now let's move on to the interior of the bus. It is fairly standard, although it may differ in some minor details. The seats are always positioned the same, as shown in the photo, only the distance between them differs.
Interior of a modern bus
It depends on the class of the bus - the more stars, the greater the distance between the seats and the fewer seats it has. But in any case, there is enough space, in addition, you can always recline the back, or move the seats apart. As for the number of seats in the bus, depending on the manufacturer, the number of seats varies slightly, but on average for a one-and-a-half bus it is 42 places, and for a two-story - 62 places. Also, buses have seats with a table, depending on the type of bus, there may be a different number of them.
In addition to the external data and the number of seats, the buses differ in configuration, i.e. the presence of an acoustic system (music), a video system (a set: color monitors suspended from the ceiling, usually 2, 3 or 4, and a VCR), an air conditioner, a bio-toilet (although a toilet is always present).
This is how TVs in the showroom look now.
And finally, it is worth adding that one of the undoubted advantages of tourist buses is the luggage compartment, which can accommodate a very large amount of a wide variety of luggage.
So, this is the main thing that can be said about those buses that travel companies offer.
The Setra bus is the brainchild of the German company Setra Omnibusse from Ulm. The company produces tourist, intercity and city buses of varying degrees of roominess and comfort. All of them are equipped with diesel engines of the Daimler-Benz AG concern, located in the aft compartment of the body.
Company history and brand features
The history of SETRA buses dates back to 1911. The company was founded by Karl Kassbohrer, which was reflected in the design of the cars: until 1983, a large metal letter "K" flaunted in the center of the grille. It is still present, but made of plastic, shifted to the right and located under the SETRA inscription.
The SETRA brand name is an abbreviation, as the main design feature of these buses is encrypted. Their body is self-supporting - SelbstRAgende, with a welded frame made of metal squares. The first model of this design - SETRA S8 - appeared on the roads of Germany in 1951.
The arrangement of the power units was made according to the "pushing" scheme - the engine in the aft compartment. It did not change in subsequent years, except for those cases when the car body was made in a composite - the SG series of articulated city buses. Since 1994, the company has been part of the Daimler AG concern.
In the European table of ranks, the SETRA brand is among the top ten manufacturers of luxury travel and intercity models. However, the model range of cars produced by it is much wider. It also includes medium-comfort intercity buses (MD series), as well as regular buses operating on municipal routes - SL series.
"Two-hundredth" series - the constructive foundation of the brand
In 1976, the Setra Omnibusse company began mass production of buses of the "series two hundred", the design and most of the constructive decisions of which are the basis of today's model range. Externally, the cars were distinguished by the shape of the front end and a one-piece windshield. They were equipped with disc brakes and air suspension. The body with a welded space frame remains a signature feature of the brand.
The model range is based on the S200 model, presented in 1972 at the Geneva Motor Show. The car had a revolutionary - one and a half - story - design, which made it possible to provide passengers with special comfortable options during a long journey. On its basis, the SETRA S215 HD models were built, as well as all cars with the HDH and HDS model indices.
The “two hundred” release consisted of the following set of models:
- S208, S209 - small machines for local lines.
- S211, S212 - city buses.
- S213 and S215 are intercity and tourist models.
Series 400 and 500
The release of all models of the "two hundred" series was discontinued in 1997. It was replaced first by the "three hundredth", and then by the series 400 and 500.
- The 500 series buses are luxury touring vehicles. They are divided into two classes: Top and Comfort. Among the first there are not only traditional one and a half - (HDH index), but also two-story (DT). Representatives of the Comfort type are also divided into two subclasses - HD and MD, differing in height due to the size of the luggage compartment.
- The 400 series belongs to the Multi class. These are urban (UL type) and intercity one and a half storey representatives of the medium comfort brand (H type). SETRA Multiclass S415 cars are medium in terms of passenger capacity and therefore the most common. They have 15 rows of seats and 53 seats.
The seat layout for the 400 is shown in the figure below.
Dimensions and number of seats in new buses:
Conclusion
The modern Setra bus models are perfectly equipped for a comfortable ride on short and long routes. However, models of the 200 series are still in demand and are operated in Russia and other states. The reason is their cheaper price, as well as the fact that the transport was originally well thought out for comfortable transportation.
