Is crowding a problem on your journey to school?

What's your journey to school like?
For some children in Wales, buses have become much busier since a recent £1 bus fare for 16 to 21-year-olds was introduced.
In certain cases, buses are now so crowded that pupils have been standing in the aisles, even when there are seats available upstairs.
As a result, one local councillor has suggested that bus drivers should refuse to move if schoolchildren are standing when there are empty seats.
So, we want to hear from you. How do you travel to school?
Is your bus, train or tram sometimes so busy that you have to stand?
Do you think there is anything that could make your journey to school easier or more comfortable?

The number of people using public buses in parts of Wales has increased since the cheaper fares were introduced in September.
Monmouthshire council says some bus services have become very busy, with pupils sometimes choosing to stand downstairs rather than sit upstairs on double-decker buses.
The council said it would keep a close eye on the busiest bus services.
Where there are problems with overcrowding, it said it could introduce a special bus service for pupils instead.
The £1 fare is designed to make bus travel cheaper for young people, and the council says it welcomes the increase in passengers.
