On the way to the AGM the bus was empty, i would guess that everyone goes shopping in the City early to avoid the crowds and queues, i'm not a Saturday shopper as i'm not good with queues, something i'm not a fan of doing.
On the way back the bus was full, i stood for a while, no problem in doing that, i then decided to not get in the way of people coming onto the bus with pushchairs to sit in the luggage rack, it was comfortable, it was somewhere to sit out of the way.
It was a enjoyable bus ride, i don't usually take buses as i'm driven around everywhere and i can see how reliant on being driven around i am, i couldn't take the bus all the time, it simply isn't viable, but since it was Saturday i thought i would use the bus.
It would seem in bus design we have started to design buses around open spaces for pushchairs and wheelchairs, which is a good thing, everyone deserves to travel and have a certain degree of independence. However we will need bigger buses to accommodate a growing population, it isn't the best thing to have to stand on any form of public transport, it will take significant investment and more subsidies to bus companies to meet the needs of people using the services and it's quite in demand.
In some cities travelling by public transport is a must, especially where the amount of traffic is such that taking a car is not viable, Hull doesn't have that problem, it has another problem, which is too high parking charges, which is the reason i wasn't driven to the AGM.
If you're a aficionado of buses, below is a picture of a cool looking bus i found on Google:
