Buggies being used for someone who is disabled should be, and are, treated the same as wheelchairs.

Theoretically, but when your child is young and using a normal buggy there’s no way to prove that, and I could imagine the reaction if I tried.

Good for the driver, taking a stand.

However, what we really need for everyday is a law to enforce the right of wheelchair users to the space supposedly intended for them,

i.e. the requirement for the driver to order off anyone not wntitled to be in those spaces
and for it to be an offence with fine if they refuse,
the driver to be empowered to stop the bus and to wait for backup

To avoid conflict & delay, bus companies would probably bring in rules forbidding anyone else in those spaces in the first place
