Where should baggage be stored on a passenger bus?

Baggage on a passenger bus must be stowed in designated baggage compartments — typically the lower-deck baggage holds on motorcoaches, overhead luggage racks, or rear stowage areas. The aisle must remain clear (it is the primary evacuation route in an emergency), emergency exits must not be blocked, and the driver's view and operational areas must not be obstructed. Loose baggage in the aisle can become projectiles in a sudden stop or crash. The driver shares responsibility with passengers for ensuring proper baggage placement before departing — sometimes addressing this verbally with passengers before the trip starts. Carry-on items should fit under the seat or in overhead racks.
