Thats down to bad drivers, not the bus itself. Using that logic all
HGVs should be replaced by 7.5 tonners. As an occasional bus user I
much prefer bendy buses - they're easy to get on and off and theres
usually plenty of room. Not so on a double decker trying to scoop up
the same amount of people and thats before you have to worry about old
grannies trying to clamber up and down the hopelessly narrow stairway.
