i would like to offer a different view. Going down to the ground level, there are certain grouches that can be understood. Currently, most school buses (including mini vans) do not come with seat belts. To implement, who is going to bear the costs? Even if the drivers bear the costs, who is going to prevent them from passing it to the parents? Next, implementing seatbelts will translate to a reduction of capacity (mostly referring to mini-vans) which would result in a reduction in income for the drivers. (If you're the driver,how leh?) This also means that there will be a demand for more buses and more vehicles. This may post to be a problem that is already surging in the industry, that is:the lack of bus drivers. (ok la, maybe the chinamen will take it up.) Unless of course, you would like to take up that job instead; or dont complain to gahmen when you have to pay a lot more than what you are currently paying now lor. (different situation from taxis altogether)
