So perhaps the whole consultation exercise was the result
of a suggestion that this HK approach should be tried here.

Also the German one. The way it works there is that if there is
someone at the stop, the bus stops, but to alight you ring the bell.
It works well, but that's mainly because most stops are served by only
one route, connecting the area to the nearest rapid transit rail
service.

So perhaps the official policy should simply change to one that
reflects what actually happens - all bus stops are request, full stop
(or indeed not).

That, ****-poor though it is, would at least make things consistent
with other parts of the UK.
