Mr. Jeremy Ryan:

We do not encourage pull-in bays in urban areas. First, it can be awkward for buses to pull in. Often, there is not enough space and people at the centre doors cannot disembark onto the footpath. Another issue is that pulling out into traffic in areas where there is likely to be traffic congestion could slow down buses. We do not encourage that. In-line bus stops are preferred.
