In addition, it is also mandatory for kids to be in some kind of specialized car seat. Given the strict requirements in other vehic

27、les, why dont buses have seat belts?The main answer, at least for school buses, is that seat belts do not make school buses safer. Overall, traveling on school buses is the safest way to travel40 times safer than riding in a carwith only a handful of deaths occurring to passengers on school buses ev

28、ery year. The seats on the school bus are placed very close to each other and have high backs that are thickly padded. As a result, in an accident the students would be propelled forward a very short distance into a padded seat back that in a way is like an airbag. In addition, the fact that people

29、sit high off the ground on school buses also makes it safer to travel on them.While school buses feature high backed seats and elevated seating locations, the same cannot be said of city buses. However, from a practical angle, theres little need to require seat belts on city buses. Although the desi

30、gn of the modern low-floor city bus is less safe than the design of school buses, the fact that city buses rarely travel at speeds greater than 35 miles per hour means that any collision is likely to be small. Also, given that most trips on city buses are short and that many trips have standing pass

31、engers, the presence of seat belts will make even less of a difference.Another answer why buses do not have seat belts is cost. It is estimated that adding seat belts to buses would add between $8,000 and $15,000 to the cost of each bus. In addition, seat belts would take up room currently used as s

32、eats, meaning that each bus would have fewer seating places. The additional room in the bus taken up by seat belts would mean that bus fleets would have to increase by as much as 15% just to carry the same number of people. Such an increase would be especially difficult in cities that experience overcrowding on their vehicles.Regardless of whether their passengers have seat belts, all buses provide seat belts for drivers and most bus companies make their drivers wear seat belts in or
