On buses, where there is a stated capacity, it is either unenforced or so
high that you couldn't reasonably get that may on anyway.

That's not true everywhere. In Nottingham there are numerous new double
decker buses with very low "Standing" capacity (I mean two or three) for
no obvious reason, unless it's because they have a very high seated
capacity and there's some other rule regarding maximum occupancy.
