Bookmark and Share

As part of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) effort to ensure that consumers have the information they need to make smart safety decisions when booking a bus trip, the agency has recently released its multilingual Bus Safety Consumer Checklist in eight different languages: Spanish, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Korean, French, German, Japanese, and Vietnamese.

It’s available to the public for free at www.fmcsa.dot.gov/safety-security/pcs/index.aspx.

The bus safety checklist encourages travelers to first look at the on-road safety performance, safety rating and consumer complaint history of a bus company before buying a ticket or booking a trip.
