Buses actually have better sight lines than modern trucks because the driver is much higher and the hood is sloped. This is also why they have a bar on the front that extends when unloading kids, to make them walk outside that zone.
The craziest part about that too, is that militaries typically acknowledge these poor sight lines and have procedures in place. I drove a Bison in the Canadian Army, and we had to have either a crew command (up higher on the vehicle with a better view) or a ground guide (literally a personal walking in front of the vehicle).

This Xeet has a picture someone stole from Mastodon that shows they’re actually worse than tractor trailers
