Being a bus driver, I see a lot of whats left after a accident with a bus. If it is a bus/car collision, normally you have a completely totaled car, and a bus with a few scratches, often we won't even bother taking a bus off the road after a collision which totaled a car, as it is only a slight amount of repainting needing. The driver of the bus, and the passengers don't normally feel much, but that is generally because the bus often has a 9 to 1 weight ration in the collision, so where as the car comes to a sudden stop, and often ends up traveling the direction the BUS was traveling at the time of the collision, the bus normally keeps going the direction it was traveling, with out any damaging (for occupants) sudden deceleration.
The real concern is when you hit something the same size or bigger than you, such as tree, house, truck, another bus.
