To quote this lady on her video to the Daily Mail:

'and their excuse that its for that its for capacity...many of the buses have either nobody on the top deck or either 1 or 2 people'

Well if there's nobody on the bus what is your problem then?

And to suggest that a size of a bus can cause an increase of burglars is ridiculous.

I would love these College pupils to read the article and use it to wind her up in the future for her whinging.

I would like to point-out that when I travel on a SINGLE-decker bus, I always look out of the windows, and enjoy looking at the world as I go by - my eyes come to rest on anything and everything.
Very often I can see into peoples gardens and their front rooms, if that's where my eyes happen to rest for a moment.
Should we therefore ban SINGLE deckers ?
IF a group of residents are very unhappy about being overlooked by a Double-Decker because there's a bus-stop outside their back garden, then perhaps they could stump-up the cost of moving it, or perhaps it could be eliminated?

I have been inside someone's upstairs flat, and been shocked when the upstairs windows of a DD have suddenly passed-by only "inches -away" !
- This must have been happening all over Britain for "Donkeys Years" !!

P.S. I only have a back-yard to sit in, but my privacy has been eroded by neighbours removing trees and hedges, building extensions, and a new decking area allows people to overlook my nine-foot high wall !

The front of my house is no more than 6ft from the road. Double deckers pass by 2 per hour. Doesn't concern me. Net Curtains/blinds solve the problem.

Double deckers have recently started on a route that passes my house so now people can see over the wall into my back yard. If they're lucky in summer they might see my washing out. It never crossed my mind to complain (I saw it as a good sign for my local bus services).

And if they're unlucky?:lol:
