So a Parent and Child and a buggie can take up Three or Four seats all for the one fare. I wonder what people would say if I lay down on the back seat abd took up 4 seats in a similar way?<BR/>In addition the drivers are afraid of arguments with "Buggy Bandits" we all know that buses are only allowed to have three buggies on board "In theory". If you ever look at the writing on the inside of the bus it states how many passengers it can hand on the upper and lower decks and how many can stand. Also it states how many can be seated if their is a wheelchair on board...Nowhere are buggies mentioned.<BR/>I have seen many cases when people have been requested to stand so that a buggy will fit in. This is against the rules ask any driver or the bus station.<BR/>Today also many people use buggies are used for shopping trolleys and nothing more.<BR/>Remember prams have never been allowed on buses and the modern buggie is the size of a pramAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
