isn't it true that there aren't seatbelts on a bus for emergency purposes? like if there was a fire?

Yes, and the seats are designed in such a way to minimize severe injuries plus as top heavy as buses are if it were to roll over you would have kids hanging from the seats unable to get loose. Some buses though do have seat belts for special reasons (toddlers, special needs children) although some kids have been injured in bus crashes they are much safer than a passenger car or van and can easily withstand accidents that would destroy a car.

Also, if a bus runs out of gas or gets stuck somewhere it makes it a lot quicker to get out

My bus didn't have seatbelts because kids would hit each other with them opposed to actually using them

And they're also taller so the only way they could be severely injured in the first place is to be hit by a truck, and if that happens a seatbelt isn't gonna help.

Or a train. Otherwise I've seen first hand a wreck between a minivan and a bus, the bus going 25 mph when the van pulled out in front of it, the van was totaled (the bus tore the driverside front wheel and hood off the van as well as shattered three windows) and the only damage to the bus was the number sticker on the bumper getting scratched.

The seats are higher up than in a normal car so injures are unlikely to be severe and buses don't travel as fast as normal cars. Also it's hard for a single driver to make sure everyone's got their seatbelt and in case of an emergency it's safer.
