A number of stops undermine unloading passengers directly into the street. Practically in all such cases the rightmost lane is occupied by parked cars, effectively blocking any moving traffic. If parked cars are absent, the safety of passengers remains in Gods hands. Bambrey St. / Poplar St. Eastbound car. (25-Sep-2005, YM)
