I admit to having an inbuilt patholgocial hatred of cyclists who
disobey the rules of the road, so I'm as guilty as anyone. *But I do
think that the bendy buses have been vilified for a lot of problems
that they don't cause.


I hate them for the one major problem they *do* cause - fare-dodging!


Well, they don't cause the fare-dodging. Facilitate it maybe, but the
it is the fare-dodgers that cause the fare-dodging.


Pedantry aside, surely the solution to discouraging fare-dodging is to
increase inspections, not to change the bus?



Not if your mind is rigidly set against the bendy bus, and you are
simply looking for excuses to get rid of it. ;-)
