Why Don't Buses Have Seatbelts?

The video explores the evolution of car safety, focusing on seatbelts as a crucial safety device. It explains why seatbelts are essential in cars but not in buses, highlighting the unique safety features of buses such as compartmentalization and their design to absorb impact. The video also discusses the cost implications of adding seatbelts to buses and concludes that buses are designed to ensure passenger safety without them.

What is one of the primary functions of seatbelts in cars?

• To enhance the comfort of the seats

• To improve fuel efficiency

• To increase the speed of the vehicle

• To secure passengers during sudden stops or collisions

Why are buses considered safer than smaller vehicles?

• They have more airbags

• They are larger and heavier

• They travel at higher speeds

• They have seatbelts for every passenger

How does the height of bus seats contribute to passenger safety?

• It provides more legroom for passengers

• It reduces the impact on passengers during a collision

• It allows passengers to see the road better

• It makes the bus more aerodynamic

What is the concept of compartmentalization in buses?

• Designing seats to be equidistant and padded

• Increasing the number of emergency exits

• Adding more windows for visibility

• Installing seatbelts in every seat

Why might adding seatbelts to buses be considered unnecessary?

• It reduces the number of seats available

• It makes buses less comfortable

• It complicates the bus design

• It significantly increases the cost without major safety benefits
