that airplanes have seatbelts but buses and subways don't? Have you ever heard a story where a plane falls from the sky and they say thankfully they had their seatbelt on? But buses and subway trains get in less horrific crashes where one could actualy save lives and yet they don't have them. Its been bothering me the past few days since we are thinking on going on a trip and I dont know the safest thing for the kids or if we need carseats. Like if everything is by bus you couldnt bring a carseat and wouldnt carry it around walking. But how on earth is it safe to sit on a bus? They will be worn if we go anyway but it got me thinking lol

Oh another thing I have ALWAYS wondered...WHY put Braille options on drive up ATM machines or any ATM machine? The screen doesn't say the amount or account info out loud so you can't verify it or see the reading in braille and a blind person would not be driving.
