I always wonder why buses don't have seat belts. It likely would have saved some lives if the kids were belted in. Of course driving carefully will save even more.

When I've asked this question, the answer I've received, is if they equip seat belts, but they aren't used, the bus line/owner becomes liable for not checking and ensuring that passengers used the belts. The legal liability of not having seat belts is lower, than if they had them.
Can't remember my source, not sure of the validity. Pure hearsay.
