The Government said it was reviewing national bus standards but not specifically passenger weights... One driver told The Daily Telegraph the buses were harder to drive when full of adults... "They are squashing in like sardines, there's no way people weigh 65kg, almost everyone on a typical day would be more than that including the drivers," the driver said...
