One of the most important steps taken in terms of passenger safety
Travel has become safer with the introduction of three-point seat belts to passengers nearly 60 years ago. The importance of three-point seat belts increases even more, especially in intercity trips, when buses travel at higher speeds.
The fact that the number of points in the seat belts is three instead of two increases the grip strength of the belts and the comfort of the passengers. In the event of a possible accident, these belts, which hold both the lower part of the body (waist and hip) and the upper part (shoulder and chest), can spread the energy of the moving body to the upper part of the body and keep the body safe.
