Safety

As we are in the business of transporting human beings to and from their loved ones, the safety of our passengers is one of the critical issues taken into consideration whenit comes to ordering of new vehicles and with the servicing of our current fleet.

From as early as 1995, all new vehicles ordered had to comply with the latest homologation and rollover specifications. What this means is that, should one of our buses be involved in an accident and roll over onto its roof, the roof structure will not collapse and the passenger seats will remain intact.

Furthermore, the bodywork of all the vehicles presently in use and all equipment and accessories relative thereto conform to the requirements of the Motor Vehicle Ordinance and Regulations and any other Ordinance and Regulation published and in force at this point in time.

All the critical parts and equipment related to safety, such as all the lights, glass, mirrors, retro-reflective chevron warning signs, retro-reflective warning tape, ball couplings on the train buses etc., comply with all the various SABS specifications.

The body shop in our Technical Department also recently applied for SABS accreditation with reference to "Builder of Motor Vehicles", which was approved in 2003. What this means is that Interstate Bus Lines is registered as a Manufacturer / Importer / Builder of Motor Vehicles according to the National Road Traffic Act of 1996.

We at Interstate Bus Lines are therefore proud to announce that the safety of our passengers enjoys the highest priority when work is carried out on the buses.

Have a safe trip.
