What does everyone think?
The photos that are dark are quite clearly taken when the day is dark - I'm assuming your photos of the 6 were taken this afternoon (dismal)rather than this morning (a bright autumnal morning). Getting the exposure right when you're tryng to capture a moving bus on a dark day isn't easy, anyhow.
And I know you worry about editing photos after they're taken, but lifting the brightness a tiny bit before uploading doesn't really do a lot different than fiddling with your camera to do the same - it's all done digitally, even if not in the exact same way.
If you can treat it as a project to play about with your camera settings, aware that you're going to get some duff pics regardless, what you do get on darker days that you can easily lose in bright summer sunlight is really rich, saturated colour. That, in itself, makes it work persisting, particularly when your subject tends to be colourful, anyhow.
