Only one stop away, it seems very close, but the weather is hot and the elderly are prone to heat stroke, plus they can't walk long distances because of their legs and feet.
We can often see that almost all of the buses are full of elderly people. A lot of older people, only one or two stops between the starting point and the destination also have to choose to take the bus. Distance is not far, but in the case of hot weather, the elderly if you walk, easy to appear heat stroke, although close, but older walk a few steps will be tired, but also some old people feel that anyway, the bus does not cost, so many elderly even if the distance is very close to the bus.
One, the weather is hot, the elderly walking easy heat stroke.
The physical condition of the elderly, unlike young people, their body's ability to regulate the temperature is weaker, the weather is slightly hotter than perceived, which makes it easy to have accidents. When the weather is very hot, the elderly if walking, easy to heat stroke. In order to avoid accidents, so even if the distance is very close, they would rather choose to take the bus instead of walking.
Second, most of the elderly people have difficulty with their legs and feet, so they don't want to walk even if it's not far away.The older people, the more or less legs will have some inconvenience, this time if they want them to walk, it is simply to increase the burden of their body. In addition, sometimes one or two stops of the road looks very close, but walk up is also quite far, many young people are not willing to walk. And the bus can travel through the city streets, to these elderly people to provide a convenient, especially some of the legs and feet of the elderly, do not have to worry about the problem of traveling.
Third, most cities now have senior citizen cards, many people feel that they do not sit for nothing.Now the country has a variety of subsidies for the elderly, with funding in most cities will have senior card, the elderly bus, basically free. So there are some old people who have this kind of mind not to sit for nothing. But I also hope that the elderly in the bus as far as possible to avoid the peak commuting time, to the young people to save a little time.
