The article goes on to mention the conflict between wheelchair users
and buggy users who will not fold a buggy and/or move to make space
for a wheelchair user. This is a problem whatever type of bus you
use, and there is no easy answer.

I suggest that drivers should be required, as now, to ask passengers
with unfolded buggies to fold them. The change I would make is that
drivers should be instructed on a refusal/inability, to issue a transfer
ticket for a following service. The problem is that many buggies are
used to carry a week's shopping as well as a child.

....

Have you ever tried to take a child on a bus on your own, especially one too
young to walk? If you had you won't make such a daft suggestion.

Everybody did, all the time, buses with suitable space are a relatively
recent invention. Trains too, in many places.

No, it's not a daft suggestion.
