public transportation bus form insideThe public transportation industry is worth $80 billion and employs more than 448,000 people. It is an integral part of many businesses and an essential element in trade and the supply chain, responsible for more than just transporting people from here and there.

It includes various transportation mediums and methods, including all types of commuter vans used to transfer goods and people, trucks, and even heavy transport; anything used for business purposes comes under public transport.

Public transport often carries valuable goods and people, and you can be directly held accountable in case of any damages or accidents. If you are one of the 6,800 public transport service providers or have your own public transportation channel, then insurance is necessary for your business and you.

What Type of Insurance Do Public Transports Need?

Companies and businesses can protect their goods, valuables, and people under “Public Transport Insurance.” It is a collection of multiple coverages for your business and public transport.

What Is Public Transport Insurance?

Public Transport Insurance is a collection of coverages for damages to goods, vehicles, and people. It also includes the payables, liabilities, and medical coverage. There is more than one factor in public transportation: your company vehicle, the driver you hire, the goods you are transporting, and the people using your transport services. So, what types of coverage come in public transport insurance?

What Does It Cover?

The following are the types of coverages that come with public transport insurance:

Liability Insurance

public transportation light from frontOne needs insurance to protect them if their vehicle gets into an accident and causes damage to goods, vehicles, and people. Many auto and commercial insurance come with liability insurance. Then the liability insurance pays for the third-party claims made by the owners of the goods. Moreover, it will also cover the medical bills of the injured people.

However, the liability does not cover the property damage or bodily injury done to you; you will need personal insurance. All third party claims are covered in liability insurance, and the policyholder cannot benefit from the policy.

Collision Coverage Insurance

Collision coverage is crucial for public transport. It provides coverage for damages and repairs in cases when your vehicle gets in an accident. Moreover, if you have financed or leased the vehicle, it is required by the lender. It covers the repairs and replacement of your vehicle under the following circumstances.

  • If it collides with another vehicle
  • If it collides with objects like fences, trees, and poles
  • If it is in an accident caused by loss of control (falling and rolling over)

What isn’t included in the coverage:

  • Damages that are not related to driving (for example, theft)
  • Damage is done to other vehicles
  • No medical bills of the policyholder or other 3rd party are covered

There is a limit to collision coverage; your policy will pay a specific amount for the replacement or repairs of your car. The amount for your claim is generally the cash value of your car (excluding the depreciation).

If your car is totaled, then the policy will pay you the amount of your car value with the depreciation cost deducted. This doesn’t mean you can buy a new model of the same car, but this money will add to that effort; many confuse it with commercial auto insurance.

Medical Coverage

public bus after accidentInjuries are an integral part of road accidents; in the United States, 2.7 million road accidents happen yearly, causing massive injuries. The road accidents rate has significantly increased; there is a chance that your public transport can also get into an accident.

If your driver or passengers get hurt or injured in an accident, they can file a lawsuit against your company. In such a case, public transportation insurance covers medical expenses and hospital bills for the injured.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive coverage covers any damages and repairs not covered by the collision coverage. It usually covers damages and repairs from environmental hazards (falling objects or trees), vandalism, fire, or even thefts. The lender will likely require comprehensive coverage if your company is financing or leasing a car.

This insurance covers the damages from the following:

  • Natural disasters (floods or hurricanes);
  • Theft
  • Fire
  • Objects falling
  • Damages caused by civil unrest (riots or protests)
  • Damages on the car because of road kill or animals

What isn’t included:

  • Damage to your vehicle due to collision
  • Damage done to other vehicles in a collision
  • Any medical expenses (you or any 3rd party)

Amazing personalize service. They were able to consolidate all of my insurance needs and save me a lot of money, while also upgrading my coverage and making sure all of my needs were met even in potential unforeseen circumstances. Would highly recommend, and I have not been so pleased with an insurance agency in many many years.

I have been a client (auto, home, and umbrella) for several years. The entire team at the agency is excellent. Francesca is always prompt in getting back to me, and the claims group is great. I also purchased a life insurance policy through them as well.

I'm so pleased with the service at JMG Agency. They shopped and saved me money on my policy even when I didn't request it. I needed insurance in another state where they are not licensed to sell but they went the extra mile and found an agency to rewrite my policy saving me almost 50%. I have complete trust in my agent Francesca and her assistant Crystal. I highly recommend this agency.Bill Schrade
