The kid never looked for traffic on either side and just ran infront of the buss. A passing car would never had any chance to react.

Edit: In my profession I do risk assesments and investigate accidents.

Thanks for pointing it out..

Can anyone please explain this to me.

Doesn't usually open doors on the foothpath side? So, Passengers alight on the foothpath.. He's alighting on the road.

Doesn't matter when you say, "You don't overtake a standing school bus" but you can never know. Accidents don't tell you before they happen.

The exit is on the right of the bus, which is the same side as which cars drive in the US: it would put alighting passengers on the sidewalk. But this bus is stopped in the middle of the road, possibly to discourage cars from trying to overtake.
