how do buses and cars fit in the same lane when a car has 2 seats and are very close together, but a bus has seats for 2 on either side, plus a walkway down the middle? this has never made sense to me

Answer 1

Buses are wider than cars but still smaller then the lane itself. The aisle is still fairly narrow. Unless you are a small child, you have to walk down the path at a slight angle as to not hit anyone. Plus the seats on a bus aren’t quite as wide as the seats in a car. When you add up the smaller widths, it makes a difference.
