If this is in reference to the way the pickup goes so far under the bus, that is intentional. Busses do not have a Mansfield Bar, so if a bus is rear ended the impact sends the vehicle under the bus rather than distributing that incoming force into the bus. Essentially, the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
We paint school buses a distinctive shade of bright mustard yellow. They stand out in every environment in the United States, granted they blend in with the filter they use in Mexico.
Didn't knew that. I can understand that aproach, but isn't it possible for the bar to absorb the force?
Nope, it would likely need to be made out of vibranium to do that. With conventional materials (ones that actually exist) the force that hits the bar is spread to the rest of the bus, pushing it forward. If the rear of the bus is solid then bus moves forward and it is possible the bus hits children. If the rear of the bus crumples to absorb the impact any children in the rear of the bus crumple.
The safest thing to do is have the impacting vehicle go under the bus.
Not unless the bar has an incredible capacity for deformation
