I don't buy the argument that passengers can just move seats or get off. There are a number of issues with that: a) we're talking about capacity here and specifically every row of seats being taken, b) people cannot exactly play musical buses (in the absence of operators taking customer safety seriously) on the way to work - they'd never get there, and c) I don't believe drivers have the facility to issue part refunds, if you decide to get off the bus early on safety grounds.

Like I say, I don't begrudge drivers (or anyone else) having 2m for safety, but I really dislike hypocrisy.
