Cars drive into each other all the time and don't catch fire and they
have fuel that is far more combustable than a bus.

In fact, cars DO catch fire in collisions - 1,200 cases in 2001 in the
UK (a 7% increase over 2000) according to stats released by the Deputy
PM's office.

Of course, the appalling rate of car accidents, injuries and fatalities
gets very little publicity compared with even a minor problem on public
transport.
