why don’t we wear seatbelts on the bus?

1.39K viewsOther

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 🇨🇦

ELI 5. Busses are heavy and difficult to roll over.

Eli35 getting children to wear seat belts and designing bus seats to match car standards is both hard and expensive. Funding research that focuses how hard it is to turn over busses was a big cost saving endeavor if it means they didn’t have to apply the same standards. Busses for public transportation just benefitted from these efforts as they could also save costs on design and implementation.
