actually in mn last year (IIRC) a chrysler minivan t-boned a school bus. really mangled it, and a few of the kids didn't make it out alive.
IIRC the ones I rode on had 72 passenger capacity. 72 x 200 = 14400 lbs., so... they can get heavily loaded.
Also they are built big because they need the volume and who supplies volume and nice long frame rails like that? Truck chassis do.
All the busses I rode on were gasoline...
