Buses Outside London

Most London double-deck buses have a separate entrance and exit.

This means that those leaving the bus, don’t get in the way of those getting in.  It also makes it a lot easier for wheelchair access and those with children in buggies.  I don’t travel on buses outside London very often, but find negotiating the obstacle course of suitcases and buggies to get to the front door somewhat tiresome. In Cambridge for example, I will walk if I can, rather than use the bus.

So if a double xit bus is so much better and as I think speeds up public transport, why do so many buses not have a centre exit.

Single Entrance/Edit Bus in Leeds

Here’s a bus from Leeds yesterday.

I suppose it’s all down to costs!
