Whether a schoolbag beside a lone rider changes where the next boarder sits, across 412 bus journeys
A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement alternates a schoolbag and a bare seat beside a lone rider on 412 bus journeys across nine routes, finding that the next boarder takes the adjacent seat 31.6 per cent of the time with the bag and 31.1 per cent without it. The result is reported as null, and the School's Seat Load Return keeps counting a bagged seat as occupied.
