Hang on, when I was bus driving, buggies and push chairs were already
folded or you didn't get on, why is the system now laxer to the
detriment of everyone?
That was the dark ages. They stopped punishing parents of children too
young to walk! They needed two hands to fold the buggy and their third
hand to hold the child. Doh!
There is no "Doh" about it, it's just common sense that a woman with
a child or two in tow is much faster loading with a folded buggy than
one which she feels protective of because is carries her most wanted
cargo,(a baby).

You just don't get it, do you? There is no way a parent on their own can
fold a buggy for a not-yet-walking child and get onto a bus. They need too
many hands.
