    If you had four bags of shopping (though that’s really quite a lot - the bags are big) you would tie the tops closed and leave them in one of the racks until you reached your destination

    Along with the 75 other passengers doing the same thing?

    And what if it’s paper goods and raining like fuck?

      1. It’s rare that more than three people on a bus are doing shopping

      2. Carry an umbrella, and isn’t everything wrapped in plastic now?

        It’s rare because everyone else is shopping by car
        If we got rid of cars then it woudln’t be rare anymore. Think!

          Nope. Lots of people can walk to the shops. We have suburban centres typically 15 minutes walk away

            Can doesnt mean do. Most people drive distances that are longer than 8 minutes.
            If the argument to give up the car for shopping and to replace it with a bus is countered with the amount of bags on the bus, then your counter to that cannot be to just walk.
