Why is every vehicle with 4 or more wheels made with seat belts for all possible passengers except for school busses?
It's not just school buses, but buses in general (at least here anyway). It tends to be that a bus is a big enough vehicle that no matter what it hits you most likely won't be thrown forward hard enough to cause damage. In particular school buses which are unlikely to ever be driving above 30mph.
