Why don't buses have seatbelts?

lanfranco

This question interested me because my father was once in a bus accident, and his injuries would not have occurred had he been wearing a seatbelt. I looked at several sites, which primarily dealt with the absence of belts on most school buses. The answer seems to boil down to three points: 1. Capacity would be reduced by the presence of seatbelts. 2. Even in accidents, buses have proven to be relatively safe compared with cars, so that incentives to install belts are not high. 3. The cost of installing belts in existing buses would be prohibitively high. The first and third reasons are fundamentally financial. I think that's your answer.

Why do buses open their doors when crossing railroad tracks? What is a radula. I have found a couple of definitions but they dont seem to be in the singular as was asked...?
