Why don't buses have seatbelts?

Question

I think it's stupid that they don't and there is no logical reason for it.

Answer 1

if your taliking about public transport they dont have seat belts due to the fact that, when your stop is coming up you press the bell then get up if there was seat belts it would make things very difficult as you sometimes have shopping and with that onyour lap trying toput a seat belt on is difficult and then by the time you get it on you could be taking it off in the next few minutes to get off at your stop.

Answer 2

Most accidents involving school buses were either frontal or rear collisions, which means that passengers were protected by a safety feature called compartmentalization.

Compartmentalization, a concept seen frequently on commercial airplanes, involves seating passengers in rows of padded seats with cushioned backs.

The belief is that during frontal or rear impact, the most common types of wrecks involving school buses, passengers would either be pushed back into their seats or thrown forward into the padded backs of the row ahead.

The use of seat belts might require stiffer seats, which would negate the theory of compartmentalization.

It is also feared that some students would receive internal injuries from seat belts through a process called submarining, the tendency for a body to slide downwards during impact.
