Mine didn't have school buses... but I was just on a bus for the first time in a million years, and every seat had seat belts and the kids were required to wear them! I guess it's a relatively new thing in my state.

I personally am not sure that buses are safer with seat belts... especially if there's only one adult on the entire bus (the bus driver). That said, I have to admit that it's shocking (literally) how bad the suspension is on the bus! If I wasn't wearing a seatbelt, I could well have hit my head on the ceiling when we went over some of the potholes we hit!!

Growing up, did your school bus have seatbelts? What about your local school buses now?
