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!

I’ve actually been in a bus during an accident in south london. Bus driver rear-ended a saloon. Collision was about 45 mph. There was definitely a sharp jolt and you could’ve lost a tooth if you were unlucky, but no one on the bus was harmed.
When i stepped off the bus and looked at the car, half of it was just gone… Crumpled into itself. The lady was very lucky she wasn’t seriously harmed.
Tldr buses have a lot of mass and inertia. Collision speeds are usually relatively low
