I couldn't imagine getting on a bus full of kids, it's bad enough when I forget that schools are still a thing and get the X21 through Durham at 3pm!
The way I see it, if schools (or LAs) are paying for an operator to run the service, it should be reserved exclusively for the students to use.
Well, I would agree with you, other than if there are services exclusively for students to use, then shouldn't kids be excluded from normal public services? Just seems unfair they have 2 choices, and ordinary passengers have just one. This means a public bus could be full, and yet a scholars bus could (in theory) be completely empty!
