Happens at about the same frequency across the board. It isn't an "HBCU issue". There may be an issue with the regulations on bus inspections.
The problem with that, Republicans hate government regulations, which is probably why the frequency of bus fires have increased. When Bush was in office, the Republicans deregulated damn near everything they could so companies and corporations can make more money. Six years later after the Bush administration, we are now beginning to see how deregulations are effecting the safety of charter buses that are at least 4 years old or older. These buses travel too many miles not to go through some routine inspection and older buses should go through a more rigorous inspection then newer buses.
