For a few months I've been wondering a solution to overcome overcrowding of buses. I've been thinking and I've come to a conclusion that buses with no seats except for the driver can allow many people to board inside the bus. Normally, around 40 people can be seated inside a bus. 10 people can freely stand in the bus, so totally there are 50 people who can stay freely inside the bus. Usually, there will be around 70 people staying inside the bus. Many people stay on the foot board to get some fresh air; few stay outside to pretend they're brave. They aren't aware of the risks they're in. almost 5 to 6 people stay on the footboard each. According to my calculation, is there were no seats then, area which covers the seat can be occupied by 3 people. I saw a documentary about India, it said that if an electric train can hold around 5000 passengers, Indian trains usually carries 15000 passengers, it's 3 times the original.. Let me come to the buses, my guess would be 70 people can stay freely inside the bus. According to me, there're two disadvantages regarding this idea. One is it's difficult for old people to travel in these kinds of buses. Another is ordinary people can't stand for long time travelling. Let me get these straight, if 3 buses goes from destination A to C. Let 2 buses without seats goes from A to C without travelling through B and the third bus with seats shall carry old people which passes through B. Many people don't want to waste the time, so they usually prefer the first two buses. Old people usually prefer to go comfortably, so they choose the third bus. It's not necessary that only old people must only travel in the third bus, it's their own wish. I'm sorry if i meant anything wrong.
