A bus featuring a new security system debuted in southern China's Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, on Friday, designed to help passengers more easily escape from emergency situations. This new invention will save more people from vehicle accidents.
"In the case of explosion or fire, people can escape through the exits," Zhao Jiantong, manager of the information office of the Guangzhou electric bus company, told the Guangzhou Daily.
After the button is pressed, information on an electronic screen outside the bus will immediately change from the bus number to "SOS," accompanied by emergency lights and alarms, said China’s state Xinhua News Agency.

The unveiling of the new safety features come after a bus crashed in Taiwan on July 19, killing all 26 on board including 24 tourists from northeastern China's Liaoning Province. The emergency exits and doors of the vehicle all failed to open.
