An automotive engineer explained to me that city buses don’t have seat belts because of the speeds they operate make it that the mass of the bus is enough to dampen any frontal impacts from throwing people too far forward. And if you get hit or hit something fast enough to get you off your seat, seat belts won’t help, they might even make it harder for you to evacuate.
Coaches? Those go fast and have seatbelts, so idk how well the theory applies.
