You could always stipulate that the stops must be at marked bus stops.


OK. So you want me to announce to everyone before leaving the station
that I'll stop wherever they wish so long as it is at a bus stop?


I think we've limited this to certain selected bus stops, like in the High
Street of villages we are driving through anyway. National Express Coaches
have such places pre-ordained.

Or if there are only three people on the bus at the time, not be so
pedantic.


Of course it would be totally different if there were only 3 people on the
bus. I'm talking about typical loadings on typical days. Who's being
pedantic?


I'm talking there about being flexible under current rules, and debunking
the "but it'll hold up everyone else on the bus".

You are not debunking anything..

You are just posting the same erroneous arguments repeatedly and being told
the same correct facts repeatedly; ignoring what you are told by people who
have been in the industry for years and know what they are talking about.

The same approach you have to the Highway Code, in fact - if you don't like
it, you ignore it.

You can have the last word. It will probably be wrong.
