why don’t we wear seatbelts on the bus?

Question

I’m currently on a very crowded bus with many people standing up, even though we are on highways. Why can I stand unsecured while on the bus? Is it a matter of being able to safely get people out in an emergency? Thanks!

edit: I’m in Canada 🇨🇦

Probs cause a car is never beating a bus in a collision, it’s the stoppable force meeting the immovable object. Also in an emergency, it’s tough to unbuckle the 60 seated and pull the dead bodies of those standing in the aisle midst wreckage.

Our buses don’t use them in AU, but long distance ones do (we call them coaches), but they’re regularly doing 100(k)+ so the risk is higher.
