Many families know the hassle of using public transport with buggies, especially when it's busy, as there are no guarantees there will be space.
One mum claims she was "screamed at" and called vulgar names after deciding to walk to a previous bus stop to make sure there was room for her and her child.
The incident unfolded after she picked her child up from its minder. The pair travelled to the bus stop, only to find there were already two women with buggies waiting there, Mirror UK reports.

Writing on Mumsnet's Am I Being Unreasonable? forum, she explained: "Knowing that the driver wouldn’t let three of us on, I walked round the corner to the previous stop and got on there."
When the bus arrived at the original stop, as predicted, only one family was allowed to board - with the other told to wait half an hour for the next service.
The mum - who thinks she done nothing wrong - then claims she was "screamed at" and called a "c**t" and "queue jumper". She claims one mum even "tried to shove [her] off the bus" and that police were called by the driver.
The situation has divided people in the comments, with one mum branding her "really selfish", and others calling her "sneaky".
Another forum user said: "Was your pushchair foldable? You acted knowing that you would be taking the place of someone who had been waiting longer than you.
"Technically you didn't break any rules, but you were selfish and sneaky in your actions. If your pushchair was foldable then you could have folded it, put it in the bag bit and held your child."
However, others think the mum did what she had to to make sure she was able to get on the bus.
One person commented: "In my opinion you just did the clever thing. Tough luck to the other one!".
A second added: "You were smarter than them. I'd have done the same."
"It's not queue jumping to get on at an earlier stop. There is nothing which obligates you to board the bus at any particular stop," said a third.
