Default Mending broken bus windows

Is there any requirement for the 'glass' to be easily breakable so that
people can escape through windows if the bus overturns in an accident?

As far as I'm aware, only if it's a designated emergency exit, in which
case, there'll be a hammer nearby. Alternatively, you get a mounting
system which releases the window by pulling a ring, which loosens the
window in its frame so it can be pushed out.

As the vehicle in question doesn't appear to be a PCV but is a playbus
not licenced to carry passengers, other rules might apply, such as the
fire escape rules for buildings.
