Three-Quarter Front View of a City Bus

This city transit vehicle is positioned at a three-quarters front perspective. The structure showcases a wide windshield panel at the front, flanked by elevated side mirrors extending outward from the upper frame. The lower front bumper area includes round headlights, while the side of the chassis exposes the front and rear wheels along the base. The background surrounding the vehicle is plain white.

Highway and Safety Features of City Buses

Elevated side mirrors, often nicknamed rabbit ears, are mounted high on the bus frame so drivers can see over nearby traffic while preventing collision with tall roadside signs. The three-quarters perspective of transit vehicles is commonly used in safety training to illustrate driver visual angles and turning radius clearance. Modern mirrors often contain integrated heating elements to clear frost, ice, and condensation during winter operations.

Questions and answers

Bus Mirror and Driving Safety Q&A

Why are side mirrors on buses raised so high up?
High-mounted mirrors allow the driver to view the entire length of the bus while avoiding impacts with pedestrians, street lamps, or bus stop shelters as the bus pulls up to the curb.
How do bus drivers eliminate blind spots around the vehicle?
Bus mirrors combine flat primary glass with convex lower mirrors. The wide-angle convex lens allows the driver to see vehicles and pedestrians located right beside the bus body.
What is a three-quarter perspective useful for in vehicle safety?
Seeing a vehicle from a three-quarters front angle helps observers understand both its frontal width and side clearance, which is important when judging maneuverability on narrow city streets.
