Didn't the recent crash involve injuries from children being catapulted along the gangway?

We should protect our we'ans - who have no choice about the method of transport to school.

Ideally, of course, every child should have a seat and wear a seatbelt (but that is possibly impossible to enforce).

In an ideal world seatbelts would be good, but your right it will be practically tough to enforce and would waste a drivers time...Still I think for school services, there should be no standing, some services that pick up kids end up being packed like sardines and as you pointed out, a recent crash saw kids thrown about
