Surely that poses more of a health and safety risk?! Not to mention presumably makes the bus look a bit shabby(er).

I don't understand it either. There are some 'older' single deckers that have buggy bays and a dedicated wheelchair space, but aren't DDA compliant, because they "aren't suitable". Does the average wheelchair-bound passenger actually care, provided they can get on and off and have a safe journey?
