Pigmy Bus Designers

Travelling into town on the bus to meet Catherine to buy a birthday present for my son is an exciting experience or at least it seems so to the tens of school children who share the bus with me. They all have passes as do the many pensioners who make up the other half of the passengers giving me the impression that I am the only person on the bus who is paying.
I suppose if you track the tax route I am paying for all the fares, no bad thing really.
With my legs jammed in and my head perilously close to the ceiling I wonder once again who designs buses and whether these pigmies have ever travelled on a bus. The same goes for transport planners who no doubt invariably never use the transport they plan for.
