Buses with standing passengers would not be allowed to travel faster than 80km/h under new laws being considered by the New South Wales government, as it commits to a road safety and seatbelt awareness campaign in response to a fatal bus crash this year.
On Friday the NSW government announced it would accept all five recommendations made by its bus taskforce’s initial safety report, based on a snap review after the June bus crash in the Hunter Valley that left 10 passengers dead and 25 injured.
