why don’t we wear seatbelts on the bus?

1.37K 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 🇨🇦

There are many buses with seatbelts in the world. Where I live, long-distance and even regional buses do usually have seatbelts.

If city and regional buses were limited to their seating capacity, you would need to run a lot more buses to transport the same number of people, this wouldn’t be practical, so standing spaces need to be allowed on buses.

City buses don’t usually have seatbelts because they don’t usually travel at very high speeds, so crashes are not very dangerous.
