Trainstops are there for your safety not someone's convenience


So do busses. Maybe there should be a trip at each bus stop in case
the driver forgets a full bus needs more braking than an empty one?


If there was an organisation for the roads similar to the Railway
Inspectorate then it's entirely possible that there would be a better safety
regime.
