What Is It with WDW Busses Lately?

Yet another accident involving a WDW bus was reported yesterday. Fortunately, this one was NOT the fault of the WDW bus driver. According to witnesses, the accident occurred near Typhoon Lagoon and Downtown Disney, where a car ran a red light and collided with the bus. The driver of the car and a passenger were injured. No report on injuries of those on board the bus.

This brings  the recent bus collision tally to four since mid-March, one involving a fatality. Of the four, however, it appears that only half were the fault of WDW bus drivers. Considering the sheer volume of vehicles in the area, and the unusual and sometimes confusing roadways on Disney property, this doesn't seem to be a particularly high volume. Still, it does make one wonder if Disney should consider more rigorous training and screening for its drivers (particularly in the case of the elderly driver involved in this accident who appears to have had multiple complaints lodged against him). I'm just sayin'...
