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 🇨🇦

Lot’s of good reasons already listed for why large busses are *a bit safer* during collisions… however, that missed the financial reason.
Bus manufacturers lobbied hard to keep from adding seatbelts when the laws first appears for passenger vehicles.
The transportation lobby continues to spend $ to make sure that don’t have to spend $$$ to upgrade their busses. For example: https://www.sfgate.com/education/article/Why-Seat-Belts-Aren-t-Required-In-School-Buses-3007821.php
