Abstract
A vehicle body structure is configured such that not only can a pillar that is a vertical member of a vehicle body, for example, a bus, be joined to a rail that is a horizontal member without conducting a welding process, but also the strength of the vehicle body can be enhanced, thus preventing the generation of noise and vibrations, improving the durability of the vehicle body structure, and facilitating assembly work.
