why do busses not require seatbelts, but other vehicles do?

Seatbelts are required by law where I live for normal vehicles. In a bus, it seems like seatbelts would be much more necessary so that in an accident, people don’t turn into projectiles where there’s more people than in a normal car.

In an accident, the smaller vehicle will experience the more severe shock. Because a bus is very large, if it gets into an accident with a car, the shock to the bus passengers will be very mild. So bus passengers don’t need to worry about these kinds of small accidents.

You are still screwed if the bus drives into a concrete building, or falls off the road into a ditch.

The main reason buses don’t have seat belts is because people didn’t use them, so why bother with the cost.
