More than 50 Metrobus passengers were injured in September, putting the agency on pace to nearly double its number of bus passenger injuries in 2010.

Through nine months, 151 Metrobus passengers have been injured this year, up 61 percent from 94 people injured through September 2009, according to the transit agency’s latest safety report. The nine-month total does not include the nine injured in Tuesday’s Metrobus collision in the District.
