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!

oh man, the contrast between this thread and the one the other day taking about double decker plane seats is comedy gold. I urge you to read it back to back.
In that thread it was like:
> that’s outrageous! that would never pass FAA safety standards!
In this thread it’s all
> eh, bus is big enough, it can probably handle itself.
The absolute best however is some person saying
> Planes have to hold up to rigorous safety standards surviving a crash at 16g
(yeah, no plane has ever crashed at 16g… more like 600g) no seatbelts (mandatory on plane) or your little life vests are going to save you from a plane crash.
Yet this thread:
> eh, let the kids fly out the window, better than burning to death i guess.
The true answer to this question, is that really, it doesn’t make any sense; there should be belts on a bus. The safety argument doesn’t hold water compared to a plane. My best guess is that if you have to secure everyone on a bus then you can’t move the necessary amount of people you need to. Thus they relax the rules in the off case something does happen. Betting against the odds I guess.
