The National Highway Traffic Commission has issued warnings about the dangers of transporting large numbers of passengers in vans, as they are more prone to rollover. Vans are not engineered to carry the weight limit an MFSAB vehicle can carry and are often overloaded when at full capacity with passengers and luggage. MFSAB vehicles like MyBus are built with safety features such as sturdy steel roll cages to withstand a rollover, compartmentalized passenger seating in case of an accident and rugged body construction for side impact protection.

No, because seat belts are not the only factor to consider in what makes a vehicle safe. MyBus vehicles are required to meet the FMVSS safety standards required for school buses and therefore are held to a higher safety standard than vans. Additionally, MFSAB vehicles like MyBus are built with sturdy steel roll cages so they can withstand a rollover better than other vehicles. They also are required to have emergency exits and rugged body construction for side impact protection. In fact, school buses have better per road mile safety records than all other vehicles. And, MyBus can be equipped with a lap or three-point safety belt. However, even without seat belts, MyBus seating is designed to compartmentalize passengers in the event of an accident, and seat backs are engineered to absorb energy. All of these factors make MFSAB vehicles one of the safest forms of surface transportation.
