Among the research's findings were: - 70% of people have witnessed drunken disorder on buses or trains. - Drivers accelerate away before passengers can reach a seat. - Drivers don't have time to lower adapted buses for people who have difficulty boarding. - Only 4% of pensioners feel safe on the bus at night. - People in some areas have to take three different buses to get from home to hospital... It also found parents attending toddler groups in the north of the city have to stagger journeys because buses only take two buggies...
