I thought they had to be fitted now

[Western SMT]

On a bus or coach, if you are aged 14 or over you must wear a seat belt if fitted.
Regulations requiring children aged three to 13 years to use seat belts (or child restraints if available) in buses and coaches will be brought forward as soon as possible.

Many 'school run' buses are quite old.

[Western SMT]

The council has 759 school transport contracts in place, operated by 829 vehicles, of which 115 have no belts.

I'm surprised it's as few as that.
