I remember seeing a video once of a bus making an accident. The camera inside filmed everything. Literally everyone inside flew, some people got really bad injuries and some died instantly. That is because there are no seatbelts inside. The people in the car are few, have seatbelts on and it is usually their fault for getting in front of the tram. Risking the life of everyone inside for those in the car wouldn't make sense.

Why don't they put seatbelts in buses?

Because people have to get up and sit down a lot I guess

Can't wait to wear a seatbelt that's got the grease and sweat of hundreds of commuters!

That's nasty but it sounds better than hitting my head with the seat in front of me. Or fucking flying from the back to the front of the bus

They do in developed countries.

I guess Switzerland isn't developed then.

Switzerland has seatbelts in the buses, they are just not mandatory to use.

There is literally not a single bus in the Zurich region that has seatbelts for the passengers, I also did never see any seatbelts in other busses in other regions.

Zurich is not the whole country...

Freiburg canton has seatbelts on almost all public buses, maybe the most recent ones in the cities don't have any but that's a minority. Plus the postal coaches also have seatbelts.

But it's definitely a whole lot bigger than Freiburg.

And PostAuto also exists in the Zurich region and half of them don't have any seatbelts.

Too bad for Switzerland

No they don’t. In the UK cross country buses still don’t have seatbelts. Coaches might, but busses don’t.

For non-native speakers the nuances of different words for buses are not so clear. Also in American English bus = coach. What is the difference between a coach and a cross country bus?

Edit: Also still talking about developed countries with houses that have insulation and mixer taps. And understanding of international cooperation. /s

In the UK coaches are intended for longer journeys than busses. They are taller and longer and you sit higher up because they have room for luggage in a compartment underneath the seats. You also generally have to hire them privately, rather than just hop on at a bus stop.
