I think staying downstairs for a short hop is fine. Clogging the lobby
or sitting on 'Priority Seats' when fit and spry, for miles and miles is
not.

Remember why some perfectly fit people do sit on priority seats - the
others don't have enough legroom on many bus designs.

Personally, I'll go upstairs for a journey of over 5 minutes. Below
that I will tend to stand in the wheelchair area, moving in the
unlikely event of an actual wheelchair user boarding.

If I'm carrying an awkward load, or if it's an older bus design with
no legroom upstairs, the 5 minutes may increase substantially.

True the point is that those that can, often don't.

Because it's awkward, especially if you're carrying anything. On a
bendy, you don't *need* to.
