I think it's more acceptable on interurban routes, but for noddy services around town/city circuits I think it's not currently needed. I'm personally not a fan of them, but I suppose they are there to help the impaired, so their placement is for the good. Wouldn't be surprised if they introduced a ruling as part of DDA legislation in the years to come.
