There's more to do when driving a bus, therefore drivers don't fall

It certainly does happen. Indeed, it's happened a lot more with
double decker buses/coaches than it has from trams (once).


Used to happen regularly with trams. The bend at the bottom of Cedars Road
into Lavender Hill was a favourite.
