Right. The buses round here don't have centre doors. And many parents

leave a child out of their sight, even in the middle of a bus.

Extraordinary how so much of the civilised world thinks that one door
is enough on a bus.

Do they?

Most of the foreign countries that I visit use some form of self validating
ticket and town buses have multiple doors (sometimes designated as entry or
exit only)

Out of town buses might not, but then they don't in the UK either
