Notes: A bus is defined as a motor vehicle designed to carry more than
10 passengers, not including the driver. For the data shown in Tables 23,
24, 25, and 26 of this report, FMCSA’s coding for three buses involved
in crashes differs from the coding in FARS. Two buses that were coded in
FARS as “other” buses and one bus coded as a “transit” bus were recoded
by FMCSA as “intercity/cross country” buses. These recodings resulted in
much higher number of “fatalities” and “occupant fatalities” for intercity/cross
country buses.

Reporting System (FARS).
