Freight trains have hit school buses a few times in the past. One of them was completely torn off its chassis, another split in half. All of them have been fatal to some of the occupants. Every single time it's been traced to driver error.
“School buses have more padding.” Have you ever been on a school bus? You can feel that metal right on your butt and the metal on your back at every stop sign or light
They told me to use my backpack as a cushion in the event of a crash. My backpack from middle school to the end of high school weighed 55lbs and was full of solid textbooks. Probably softer than the metal, I guess?

I remember when I was in school the bus driver went over a speed bump too fast and everyone on the bus bounced out of their seats and whacked their heads on the ceiling that was my first concussion. so seatbelts: yes
My Bus driver did that too, it was so fun trying to push down hard enough on the seat to touch the ceiling, mind you we went going fast by any means so nobody got hurt

Flammenwerfer 804 that was super irresponsible of the driver he could have gotten every child on that bus killed if trees blocked the roads or the fire spread. Not to mention smoke inhalation.
I think the argument is the cost is too high with too little reward. And before you say children's lives matter or some such. It is not about the lives. It is already 'safe enough' safer than being in the parent's car by a wide margin. It would improve safety a tiny bit for a few circumstances that are rarely seen. To put it another way. Do you have sprinkler systems in your house in the event of fire? If not, why not? Because the cost is higher than the perceived risk. And now that I have argued the point made in the video. Put seatbelts on the bloody buses! You don't need to buy $100,000.00 brand new buses. Retrofit the things. Stack of seatbelts a drill and some bolts!
So, as a school bus driver, allow me to chime in on the topic, especially in regards to the evacuation drills we do. On our shorter buses, as the video states, we have seat belts on all the seats, and on the full sized buses, the first two rows are equipped with either seat belts or a harness/restraint for smaller children, and are usually reserved for the more unruly children that have an action plan the specifies that they need to be belted in. Now a standard school bus in our district has 20-24 rows of seats that can seat between 2 to 3(kindergarten to 2nd grade) kids on one side, so an estimated max capacity for your poor driver's sanity of 40-50 children, but on average I would say we carry in the 20's. Now get them all buckled in in a timely manner. (Good luck with that). Now say you have an incident that requires you to evacuate the bus, say a collision and there is concern of fuel leak, or stalled on a railroad crossing with the front of the bus stuck on the tracks. In this situation you must immediately evacuate the bus through the exit farthest from danger, and say god forbid, seat belts jam, or your littlest ones are having trouble. Yes, you have designated helpers in these scenarios that they practice for 1 week twice a school year, but that's in a safe environment, usually in a school parking lot. Now you have to evacuate 20+ kids out of a bus and deal with seat belts. Say the bus rolled, now you have to cut all the belts. Single adult with single belt cutter having to cut free 20 some children when time is of the essence and coordinate the kids getting out and supervise the ones that have already evacuated. It's impractical. I don't disagree that cost is a major factor, as our schools are severely underfunded, my own district relies on a levy for a good percentage of funding for operation costs and staff wages.
@@LananeRyuu for the last scenario (a rollover) you save a lot more time because not only do you not have to cut the kids out you can leave the dead ones where they are since they will have broken their necks when they hit the ceiling of the bus. I think you make some good points but a rollover is one of the few scenarios where seatbelts on a bus make a lot of sense.
Average speed is always low compared to any speed limits. The reason is simple, unless you never stop or slow down for any reason, every stop or slow down reduces your average speed. Thus a bus going on a 50 mph road that stops at every red light can average 20 mph or less as would cars on that same road. People think since they can go 65 mph on the interstates rhat they average speed is close to 65 mph, when in most cases it is closer to 20 mph or even lower.
If I had to bet, you were in the crosswalk but the lights were red for you and green for the cars, but you, like most assholes think that because it's a crosswalk you can just throw yourself into it that it will stop. Being a bus driver myself I tell you, you won't win against a 12T vehicle. So, just look at both sides before walking.
When they said :“All school bus drivers go through rigorous training and are better than the average driver” all I could think about was when I was in high school our superintendent was also the superintendent at another school nearby and we had a bus driver that kept texting while driving so he had to resign or get fired so he decided to resign after he did that the superintendent hired him at the other school right away.
Are you in elementary or middle school? Just a question, i don’t mean to come off as negative. Just curious because when i was in elementary and middle school we didn’t have seat belts on our bus. Then i recently came across a TikTok video and it showed a school bus with seatbelts.
Same. I'm currently 22, but all throughout elementary, middle, and high school the school buses I rode had seatbelts. Of course, no body ever really used them either
Recently the school my niece goes to forces you to wear the seatbelts on the bus or you get kicked off, or you get in trouble And they aren't the lap kind either
I remember my bus in elementary school actually having seat belts, but we were forbidden from wearing them! The fact that school busses go on the highway means they really should have seatbelts.
Wtf. Why were you forbidden from wearing them. We always have them in Sweden. We even have electrical light that light up when someone not wear belt which makes people feel like an exception of the rule and wear belt
@@grumpiesttitan7930 Because kids are dumb and many if them D don't wear them properly. Like we are talking wraping it around their kneck and stuff here.
“They don’t let anyone drive a bus” Me: What about my bus driver who ran over curbs often and would go petal to the metal then brake? Just to try and hurt the kids talking? Who wasn’t fired until several “incidents”?
“Don’t let anyone drive a bus” My bus driver has his license suspended for hitting 3 kids on a bus stop. Still can drive “Rigorous Training” There isn’t any “rigorous” training, it’s like two 5 hour days. Those quotes alone would deserve an unsubscribe, but a dislike will suffice.
“They don’t let just anyone drive a bus” My bus driver used to smoke while driving but he couldn’t smoke on the bus- so he’d hold the cigarette out the window the entire time& just lean out when he wanted to hit it/exhale. Coincidentally, I had an English teacher that dipped during class too. He kept two cans of coke- one empty, one full. He had perfected making it look like he was drinking his can of Coke when really he was spitting. His name was Mr. Periode pronounced “Mr. Pretty”.
damn least my bus driver was good and like the job. yeah she did hit a sheep, but is hit the sheep and damage the bus. or cut the wheel and risk a roll over. the bus was ok it had a bent bumper I think it still has too, the sheep it was everywhere.
As a school bus driver, I can also say that it would take an enormous amount of time to ensure each child put their seatbelt on and off everytime the boarded. Most wouldn't bother. Secondarily, if there was need of an immediate evacuation, seatbelts could hinder their exit.
@@09jisaac Not necessarily. Coaches are for longer journeys, are more comfortable and can feature things like build in screens whereas buses are for more shorter journeys.
Red Stoner Ummm...poor spelling is one thing while inadequate research is another. Lack of proficiency in one is not causation of deficiency in the other. There’s no correlation.
Teachers: We don't want to pay for more than one bus for 150 children. Teachers: 7 kids per seat! Kids: Sit on top of each other. Teachers: One person per seat for teachers!!
Smart Taiwanese (real Chinese?) Edit: What I meant was that since during Chinese Civil war, Chinese government fled to Taiwan as Communists took control of all the mainland China, it can be argued that Taiwan (which is still officially called Republic of China) is the "real" or "original" China. I did not mean to insult anyone or imply that Taiwan is part of the PRC, Taiwan is an independent and democratic nation. Now I understand, judging by some replies, that this argument is likely wrong (at least overly simplistic) since it doesn’t take into account history of Taiwanese people from before 1949.

I disagree the lack of seat belt. No matter how safe the bus is, seat belts should always be provided. Economic costs does not make a good reason to not implement seat belts.
Do you also walk around in a helmet and a full body armour? "No matter how safe it is, we should always try and make it safer" No, there's a point when safety is no longer a concern, and things like comfort step in. I've been in a couple bus crashes and I didn't even notice the impact, let alone be injured.
The argument at the end: **Seatbelts would make buses even more save than they currently are** Politicians: "But they already are the savest vehicle, we are not spending more money" Is that actually an argument? SMH
I think they have been mandatory for European buses for quite some time. Unless they are only for city transport where they have limited speed and passengers change too often.
Yes. Because they only have a limited amount of money, but they have unlimited ways to make people's lives safer. If re-constructing a dangerous by-pass, or adding more public transport routes, or requiring smart brakes, or whatever, will prevent ten times more deaths, then those are the ones they're going to start with.
In Norway there’s a distinction between city buses, which may not drive faster than 70 km/h, and other buses. The latter _always_ has seatbelts, and if you don’t wear it and someone’s checking, you get fined. City buses usually have seatbelts, but they’re not required to wear, although people typically do unless they’re only taking the bus to the next stop (which is probably what the regulation writers had in mind when they wrote the exception).
“They don’t just let anyone drive a bus.” My school bus driver yells at everyone that talks, more so exists. Edit: NO ONE LIKE THIS COMENT, IT’S AT 69 LIKES! Edit 2: Well gosh darn it
When the first point arrived i started laughing hysterically. Im about to go to school on my bike and i know buses are the most dangerous BECAUSE of the drivers
Not anymore! According to Wikipedia, in 2016 they launched *a bus* (!) between the college campus, train station and a stadium. If you're anywhere else - fuck you, drive a car.
3:15 "Have more padding" Well, not that long ago I was in a New York City Charter School Bus. There was a hole in it with a screw facing up. That screw was definitely made with the seat. There was only that thin leather material that separated my a*s from that screw. Over time, the hole formed. If there was a big enough bump on the road with that horrible suspension, that screw would have gone up my a*s. The bus ride was super uncomfortable and actually made be feel pain since I had to sit down on the screw. So like, is there really more padding on the seats? Whoever makes these school buses, just please fix your seats.
I’m a bus driver for a local school district and they’re slowly transitioning to buses with seat belts. One reason for the slow implementation is funds just like cheddar said. Another is quite simply the legal ramifications of someone getting hurt in an accident. According to our training, for special needs children if we’re not specifically given instructions to secure a child with a seatbelt, we could be legally liable if they get injured.
You would need a staff member on every school bus making sure everyone stays strapped in. Probably should be one anyway, it's like transporting a load of wild chimpanzees as it is and the driver needs to remain focused on driving.
For the two school years that I was forced to ride a school bus, I suffered many minor injuries due to the lack of seat belts on the bus. Granted, I lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is very hilly. Going around curves in the road was especially painful, as you would either go flying across the aisle to land hard on a pile of other kids, or get pinned against the metal side of the bus with two or three other kids simultaneously body-slamming you.
I remember this time I was on public transport bus and the bus slammed its breaks on and this old lady flew out of her seat (the one in the middle of the back five seats) right down the aisle onto the floor, her stuff flying everywhere. She went pretty far because we were going pretty fast. Ouch
In middle school every day on the ride there, there was a huge bump. I attempted to stabilize myself and hold on as much as I could each time, but I still always got a little bit of air. And the bus driver tried to slow down whenever he got near that bump which helped quite a lot. However, the first time I wasn’t prepared. Neither was the bus driver. I was just on my phone, when suddenly me and everyone else were launched into the air and fell on the floor, but some lucky people just happened to fall to the side. However, I hit the seat next to me while hitting the floor and it left a bruise on my right shoulder. That was quite the problem and it went on until I moved houses and I could probably guess that it’s still going on. I bet seatbelts would’ve helped tremendously with this.
“All school bus drivers go through rigorous training and are better than the average driver” The one who almost pushed me into oncoming traffic would like to disagree.
@@edipires15 What do you mean a suburban bus? Most suburban towns are car dependant and don't have there own public transportation services. Unless it is shared with a city that does offer those services. Which of course means that the city bus has routes that travel to these suburbs. But still, all city buses don't have seatbelts like they explained in the video.
In remember whenever I looked at the seat in front of me in the school bus the fabric was always ripped and teared exposing the white string loosely held together by extremely sticky black tape
Exactly evatan. This was all buses in my school district. One time, the screws to the roof had fallen. Out and they didn't fix it. It was fucking scary seeing the roof of your perfectly "safe" vehicle open like a can of beans.
Ummm, wait... I realize this channel caters primarily to an American audience, but all longhaul buses and many intercity buses in the EU are indeed equipped with passenger seatbelts. These are usually two-point belts, but if you're sitting in the front row or just behind an exit door, you'll get a 3-point belt.
Been loving Chedder since you guys had less than 10k subs; just a lot of cool random information, explained in simple and entertaining videos. Please stay this way and don't become pretensiously political like Vox or Buzzfeed
Going on school excursions was hell for me as a kid. The bus company the school used, some buses had seatbelts and some didn’t. My mum would wait until the bus came, and if it didn’t have seatbelts she would drive me herself behind the bus. So humiliating and was a source of constant anxiety for me every school trip. Of course now that I’m an adult I realise that the whole reason she did that was because of her own anxiety over her kids being potentially injured. She actually got the school to institute a policy that if the bus had to travel on the highway it would be mandatory for it to have seatbelts. Pretty impressive!
I'm in Duval County, Florida (where Jacksonville is). Back when I was in school, none of our buses had seat belts. I, currently, drive for a school bus company here and have for 10 years. Ever since I started driving buses, all the buses have lap belts.
@@6500s1 That's not the case with three point seatbelts. The biggest injury you can get is a broken collarbone from the seatbelt itself. But you will either become a projectile to other people in the car or fly out the window which is objectively very dangerous.
They make you wear some sort of seat belt wether it is a lap belt or a regular seatbelt in a school bus in Arkansas, California, Florida, Louisiana, Nevada, New Jersey, New York and Texas
Texas here, graduated in '13, I never rode a 72 passenger bus that had belts. Couple years after I graduated we had a terrible bus wreck where a tractor trailer hit a full bus head on in a 70mph zone. Only 2 people died, and NEITHER was on the bus. 1 was the truck driver, other was the woman following the bus who had a seatbelt and airbags.

On our shorter buses, as the video states, we have seat belts on all the seats, and on the full sized buses, the first two rows are equipped with either seat belts or a harness/restraint for smaller children, and are usually reserved for the more unruly children that have an action plan the specifies that they need to be belted in. Now a standard school bus in our district has 20-24 rows of seats that can seat between 2 to 3(kindergarten to 2nd grade) kids on one side, so an estimated max capacity for your poor driver's sanity of 40-50 children, but on average I would say we carry in the 20's.
Now get them all buckled in in a timely manner. (Good luck with that).
Now say you have an incident that requires you to evacuate the bus, say a collision and there is concern of fuel leak, or stalled on a railroad crossing with the front of the bus stuck on the tracks. In this situation you must immediately evacuate the bus through the exit farthest from danger, and say god forbid, seat belts jam, or your littlest ones are having trouble. Yes, you have designated helpers in these scenarios that they practice for 1 week twice a school year, but that's in a safe environment, usually in a school parking lot. Now you have to evacuate 20+ kids out of a bus and deal with seat belts. Say the bus rolled, now you have to cut all the belts. Single adult with single belt cutter having to cut free 20 some children when time is of the essence and coordinate the kids getting out and supervise the ones that have already evacuated. It's impractical.
I don't disagree that cost is a major factor, as our schools are severely underfunded, my own district relies on a levy for a good percentage of funding for operation costs and staff wages.
@@LananeRyuu for the last scenario (a rollover) you save a lot more time because not only do you not have to cut the kids out you can leave the dead ones where they are since they will have broken their necks when they hit the ceiling of the bus. I think you make some good points but a rollover is one of the few scenarios where seatbelts on a bus make a lot of sense.
"Lives are valuable", don't mean dick to them.
City buses average only 12.7 mph?? No wonder they're always late.
They spend most of the time in traffic, in between bouts of being completely stationary
I bet here in Hong Kong they're much faster.
Average speed is always low compared to any speed limits. The reason is simple, unless you never stop or slow down for any reason, every stop or slow down reduces your average speed. Thus a bus going on a 50 mph road that stops at every red light can average 20 mph or less as would cars on that same road. People think since they can go 65 mph on the interstates rhat they average speed is close to 65 mph, when in most cases it is closer to 20 mph or even lower.
I always take the bus and I wanna kill myself waiting for a particular bus in my region.

Seat belts do not take up more space.
grahvis yes they do. You can normally fit 3 kids to a seat. But with a seatbelt mounting on must buses you can only fit 2.
Do you also walk around in a helmet and a full body armour? "No matter how safe it is, we should always try and make it safer" No, there's a point when safety is no longer a concern, and things like comfort step in. I've been in a couple bus crashes and I didn't even notice the impact, let alone be injured.
The argument at the end:
**Seatbelts would make buses even more save than they currently are**
Politicians: "But they already are the savest vehicle, we are not spending more money"
Is that actually an argument? SMH
I think they have been mandatory for European buses for quite some time. Unless they are only for city transport where they have limited speed and passengers change too often.
Yes. Because they only have a limited amount of money, but they have unlimited ways to make people's lives safer. If re-constructing a dangerous by-pass, or adding more public transport routes, or requiring smart brakes, or whatever, will prevent ten times more deaths, then those are the ones they're going to start with.

No, they spelled "passangers" correctly. What they misspelled was "passengers".
In Norway there’s a distinction between city buses, which may not drive faster than 70 km/h, and other buses. The latter _always_ has seatbelts, and if you don’t wear it and someone’s checking, you get fined. City buses usually have seatbelts, but they’re not required to wear, although people typically do unless they’re only taking the bus to the next stop (which is probably what the regulation writers had in mind when they wrote the exception).

I’m a bus driver for a local school district and they’re slowly transitioning to buses with seat belts. One reason for the slow implementation is funds just like cheddar said. Another is quite simply the legal ramifications of someone getting hurt in an accident. According to our training, for special needs children if we’re not specifically given instructions to secure a child with a seatbelt, we could be legally liable if they get injured.

You would need a staff member on every school bus making sure everyone stays strapped in. Probably should be one anyway, it's like transporting a load of wild chimpanzees as it is and the driver needs to remain focused on driving.
For the two school years that I was forced to ride a school bus, I suffered many minor injuries due to the lack of seat belts on the bus. Granted, I lived in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is very hilly. Going around curves in the road was especially painful, as you would either go flying across the aisle to land hard on a pile of other kids, or get pinned against the metal side of the bus with two or three other kids simultaneously body-slamming you.
I go with a city bus almost every day, I can tell you, they drive like maniacs

In middle school every day on the ride there, there was a huge bump. I attempted to stabilize myself and hold on as much as I could each time, but I still always got a little bit of air. And the bus driver tried to slow down whenever he got near that bump which helped quite a lot. However, the first time I wasn’t prepared. Neither was the bus driver. I was just on my phone, when suddenly me and everyone else were launched into the air and fell on the floor, but some lucky people just happened to fall to the side. However, I hit the seat next to me while hitting the floor and it left a bruise on my right shoulder. That was quite the problem and it went on until I moved houses and I could probably guess that it’s still going on. I bet seatbelts would’ve helped tremendously with this.
