In summary, the "Least Bumpiest Part of Bus" refers to the area of a bus that experiences the least amount of bumps and vibrations during a ride. Knowing this can help passengers choose the most comfortable seats and can also aid in improving the design and construction of future buses. The least bumpiest part can be determined through experiments and measurements using accelerometers or other vibration measuring devices. Factors such as the bus design, suspension system, road conditions, driver behavior, and passenger load can all affect the least bumpiest part of a bus.

What is the least bumpiest spot on a bus? Specifically a yellow, single-decked, "transit" school bus, although I think this could apply to most, if not all, buses.

The middle, equidistant between the front and rear axles.

The bumpiest spot is the back of the bus behind the rear axle.

Somewhere around the bus's centre of gravity.
