Why does public transportation typically not have any seatbelts?

I’ve taken buses in big cities across the EU, Middle East and North America, none have ever had seatbelts of any kind. Why is this? I assume that buses are no less likely to get into accidents, and would even assume that bus accidents would be more fatal due to the atypical seat layout (levels, rotated seats, etc...). So what’s reasoning behind them not having any kind of seat belts? Surely it’s just not an issue of inconvenience?


On that same note, tramways (streetcars) also don’t seem to have any seatbelts.

When a massive object collides with a small object, most of the damage is to the small object. So, when a car and bus collide, the bus passengers are much less likely to get hurt.

I was once in an accident where a car rear ended a city bus. The bus shook a little and barely had any damage. The car was totaled.
