Like is it really necessary to have one-way doors on straight buses
but not on bendy buses, now that paying by cash on the bus, rightly or
wrongly, has been pretty much phased out?


One way doors on a small bus works very well, IMO.


The smallest buses only have one door, so it has to be two-way, as
they are on bendys. But recently I experienced a delay because
someone, probably used to bendys etc, had taken a buggy into the back
door of a straight bus (direct to the available space instead of
forcing it through a crowd) and the driver wanted the mother to fight
through to the front before proceeding.
