Carried the same passenger twice heading to Stanley yesterday, carried oaps into Newcastle for a look out today. I understand being stuck indoors is frustrating but it needs to be done, not just for their safety. So really I do see the sense of allocating a smaller vehicle, might dissuade unnecessary usage.I took littlun for walkies up front street, this afternoon, to burn off some wriggles, and an angel pulled up at the stop ahead of us. The guy waiting at the stop was getting on the bus before the passenger alighting even had both feet on the ground.
It's going to have to get tougher, isn't it?
