It takes a long time for things like this to become common place and accepted - and when they do we wonder why it took so long? I love kneeling buses - always make me smile, so good to know everybody can hop on a bus. Well done with Italo Calvino - still on my my shelf after a few false starts as well.Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-47786233008406847712013-04-20T19:06:19.765+10:002013-04-20T19:06:19.765+10:00Totally got it Di!
