From Graham Evans.
AT last! A protest about the seating in buses in a letter from Diane Bougeard (JEP, 11 January).

As an infrequent, but now increasingly frequent user of Connex buses, I have been amazed at the docility of the passengers who accept such appalling seating.
It is impossible for any normal-sized person to sit facing forwards in the seats.

Also, it is a struggle to reach a seat at the rear of the bus due to the narrowness of the aisle. The seats have less knee-room than those of the cheapest airline.

Do the managers of Connex think that all the inhabitants of Jersey are dwarfs?
Furthermore, although apparently this is to be improved, there is completely inadequate provision for the luggage of passengers going to the Airport.

Sometimes, particularly during holiday periods, there are as many as ten seats occupied by luggage. Surely the inhabitants of the Island deserve better than this?

If the authorities want more people to use the buses rather than their cars, they will have to improve these aspects of the bus service.
