    I have read the other responses to this question. each response was excellent, but no one seem to give the real reason school buses do not have seat belts. its called money. to equip every school bus, in america with seat belts, would be a staggering figure. some local governments could not afford the seat belts, even if the federal government paid 50% of the cost. what price can you place on the life of a child?

    • If they had built them into the busses in the first place, that wouldn't be a problem.

    • Not a believable answer. Cost of belts is insignificant compared to the cost of the bus, driver, gas, tires, other upkeep...

    • Useful, it is a valid reason even if there are others which influence the decision.

    • You can probably equip all buses in the US with the cost of a couple of days of war in the Middle East. I do not think money is an issue in the US...the issue is where to put the money.
