Why don buses have seat belts?
Seat belts are not required on school buses and other large passenger buses because the NHTSA has determined that “compartmentalization” is better at providing protection during a collision. Although not federally mandated, some states require seat belts on buses and some school districts purchase buses with seat belts regardless. This may change soon, as the NTSB and other safety advocates are pushing for seat belts in buses.
