I was on a 176 this afternoon travelling to East Dulwich and I couldn't get off at the exit door thanks to a driver letting on a third buggy who was in the gangway between the doors. The parent said to me "You'll have to go out the front door mate" thanks to the Arriva London driver having no care about how many of the buggies were already in the wheelchair part of the bus.

The other day, I was on a 185 when a parent with an oversized double buggy came on the bus through the double doors at the back which led to a logistical nightmare for the other parent with the smaller buggy to squeeze in.

Last weekend, there were 3 buggies waiting to board the 356 at Bell Green Sainsburys, the two middle class mums asked the 3rd parent with the smaller and more practical buggy to fold hers up, so they could wheel their little darlings on the bus.

These vehicles were designed to accommodate disabled passengers, not parents who as little as 10 years ago managed to fold up pushchairs with the little one on their other arm to get on a bus.
