Why dont buses have seat belts?
I’ve been in 2 school bus accidents and my mom’s a bus driver. When a bus hits something (or vise versa) that is smaller than it (like a car) then you don’t even feel it. The bus is so much larger than the things it’s likely to hit that the most concern is for the car that the bus hits. There’s probably a higher risk of the bus catching fire or breaking down on railroad tracks that the seat belts would get in the way more than help. Also, what’s-his-face already mentioned about the back of the seat in front of you keeping you in one place. And if you’re worried about the bus rolling over, that almost never happens. Sure buses are tall, but all the mass is in the lower half giving them an unusually low center of gravity. The short buses have seat belts usually, but that’s mainly because they generally have mentally handicapped passengers. And all this crap about buses not going fast enough? that’s bull. I mean, they only top out at 65 mph, but on the other hand, that’s faster than the 4
