Should it be Manditory......

It seems to me we are all horrified when we read of another bus accident killing passengers of all ages.But a simple thing like putting in seatbelts would give the passengers a better chance of escaping injury.Here in BC,our insurance company(controlled by our provincial government) has made it mandatory for all passengers to wear seatbelts except buses and emergency vehicles.Why buses?If those that say the seatbelts will cause more injuries than stop them,why do we HAVE to??Logic please??

School Buses transport close to 3 million Canadian Children a da to and from school and we consider these people are precious cargo and would do anything to protect them, except put seat belts in buses. The very thing the use on a daily basis? Doesn't make sense. Every vehicle should have a seat belt, planes have them...so why not buses. I agree there is a lack of common sense when it comes to this and I feel sorry for those families who have lost loved one in bus accidents, so many lives could have been save due to a simple thing called a seat belt.

I'm somewhat divided on this issue. First off I think that seatbelt use should be mandatory for all school busses. However, on commerical busses while it would be difficult to make it mandatory I believe that the busses should have the seatbelts and their usage would depend on the passengers.
