Seats are installed equidistant with respect to each other, segregating passengers in small compartments of sorts. To put it in perspective, think of how eggs are protected from damage by keeping them segregated and divided in small compartments. Moreover, the seat in the bus in front of you is high enough and usually decently padded to arrest your motion in the forward direction in the case of a sudden stop or a collision. Another reason why buses, especially school buses, dont have seatbelts is the cost. Studies conducted by the University of Alabama and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that adding seatbelts would raise the cost of a bus by around $8,000 to $15,000 without having any major impact on the safety of passengers.\n
