As a school bus driver for 17 years, I can confidently say that no school disctrict will allow students to be standing on the bus while in motion. One of our hardest jobs was keeping them in their seats! The liability issues in case of an accident are horrendous. During my driving career, I was involved in a couple of accidents, and even with all the students seated, it was a mess in terms of liability...
I can imagine keeping students in their seats is a tough job but the fact a bus is an EV doesn't make that job any easier or harder....In Europe it is quite common for passengers to stand during the ride; I agree there is a security risk involved.
