## Opinion text

Concurring Opinion by
Wright, J.:
Although this is a close case, I concur in the result. The instant factual situation differs from that in Angelo v. Pittsburgh, Railways Co., 189 Pa. Superior Ct. 571 , 151 A. 2d 867 , in which we are filing an opinion this same day. In the Angelo case it was conceded that the bus had made a violent and unusual stop, affecting not only the plaintiff but other passengers as well. We held that the evidence was sufficient to raise a presumption of negligence. In the case at bar, however, the record does not disclose that the movement of the bus was so unusual and extraordinary *56 as to be beyond reasonable anticipation, and passengers other than the plaintiff were not affected.
