Because if a bus crashes and flips, it is vey difficult to get kids cut down from a bus that large, especially if a fire started. You might also notice that the roof of a school bus is rounded and smooth. This is because if the bus flips, te kids will slide on to the roof, and not be too injured, and be able to get out the fire escape windows. |

I have wonder that myself because if there were seat belts on school buses, students would be much safer if in the event the bust got in a collision. |

a lap belt would be the most likely thing and a lap seat belt would cause people to snap their spines therfore unable to walk...
it just costs too much to install the 3 point belts that you see in passsenger cars... |

some school buses do have seat belts |

1) Kids can't sit still
2) Kids can unhook the belts themselves so they
wouldn"t stay buckled in anyway so a waste of
taxpayers money
3) Motor coaches don"t have any either
4) Tour busses do not have seatbelts
5) Motorcycles have no seatbelts |

same reason they make motorcyclist wear helmets.. MONEY. Adults pay taxes, kids dont. Sides that would be a load of money. You gotta figure about $40-60$ per seat belt ( not seat) plus the labor to install about half an hour per seat belt at about $16-22. Just do the math and youll see. Goverenment doesnt care unless you give them money. |

i suppose it's because children's lives are expendable....
at least, that's how my area's schools act. but i won't go into a tirade about that. at least it's behind me now.
i really think school buses ought to have seat belts, or at least put cushions around the metal bar inside the top of each seat. all the kids crack their heads on it when the bus comes to a sharp stop. i know from experience. that metal bar really hurts. |

if they did, then they would know that they can't seat 3 kids,with bags, to a seat. maybe they think that if they squish the kids together, it will cushion the hit. |

thats a good question |

Because it is not likely that children will die if a bus is involved in an accident. It's all about statistics. |

it helps cut down on the youth population |

consult the national transportation safety board regarding seatbelts on schoolbuses
they allow 3 students to each full size seat and buses are designed with the higher back seats to protect the kids in case of an accident ...children on a school bus even in a rollover accident are not usually badly injured unless it is due to the bus going down an embankment ... i drove a brand new bus for special needs kids that did have 3 seatbelts to a seat. national transportation safety bord is the decision maker on this not the schools |

I always hated going in the bus not for the saftey belt issue but because of the bus being over crowded...this is a real safety issue there...they need to limit how many kids go on the bus...we pay enough in taxes so why not instal safety belts |
|

I think its because a lot of schools dont have the money to invest in bus seat belts. Especially inner city schools, and to cause change people need to stand up and do something, and not many people have. |

Blimey, that is a really good question! Coaches these days have them and if you are under 15 you have to wear them, so why oh why not school buses? Perhaps you should be working for health and safety in schools. |

Good Question. I work with developmentally challenges adults, and ALL of our buses have seat belts (and a lot of them know how to use them, but won't get out of them). If kids learn at an early age that seat belts are placed on the bus and to be used like the seat belts in a car, I don't see a problem being caused.
In Illinois, a child has to ride in a car in a booster seat until the age of 7. So then shy don't buses have booster seats for those under the age of 7?
It is all a matter of safety, and until enough children die in bus related accidents, I don't see it happening.
Buses didn't have to stop at Rail Road Crossings until sometime in the early to mid 1970's. It was only when a bus was hit by a train and lots of innocent children were killed when it was finally put into law. |

Because a bus is heavy and driven by a professional.
If a bus hits a car, do you really think the kids are going to get tossed around much? Definately not. Although anybody in that car is going to have a problem... |

I think it's because they are using the same style buses from years and years ago (at least they are in my area). I guess it wouldn't be "cost effective" to update the entire fleet to a more acceptable safety standard.
It's pretty ridiculous. |

In the event of a crash, where there is danger of the bus catching fire from the engine the driver would not be able (could be knocked out, or too many kids) to help all the little kids get them off so that they could get out of the bus. Thats why some buses only have the front row with them. |

I thinks its because they don't like kids |

Probably because a school bus is a rather large vehicle, so if it tips over, or there is some sort of accident, people can escape more quickly. |

School buses do have seat belts. May be the new ones don't but the old ones do. I grew up taking the school bus to school and there was always seat belts. Plus, my dad is a school bus driver and I go to work with him sometimes and I see seat belts. |
