It’s extra fun to be in the back section of the bus and still sit higher than people in their giant emotional support trucks 👀
How I look down at people driving themselves (I am on the bus rule)

Me not even noticing the traffic because I'm busy playing sudoku on the bus instead of operating a motor vehicle myself 🤓

I dunno how people do this, I get so motion sick, particularly on a plastic-smelling bus

I dunno how standard this is, but my phone has a vehicle motion mode to enable that makes little dots fly across the screen proportionally to how much the vehicle is moving. It seems to help, but I also have less problems anyway in a bus compared to a car.

Cool. Never heard of that.

see this is the kind of thing that makes me hate the industry, this should be utterly bog standard and backported to old OS versions!

Also mfw (someone edit a cycling helmet on him) I'm riding my bicycle past six ore so people clogging up an entire city block and filling it with noxious gas while I'm riding my bicycle past them.
They can't move because there are six other people clogging up the next street and so on.

We currently have some larger road construction sites in the city and therefore also traffic jams. Yesterday, my bus got stuck in one and I decided to get out at the next stop and walk to the following bus stop. When I arrived there, I looked back and saw that the bus had made it about halfway, which is just wild to me.

I absolutely hate how west coast centric media has portrayed public transportation, you look at any major TV show on the east coast and public transportation usually is just a standard element

Consequence of most shows being produced in California, I imagine.

Tbh fuck CA, they're so full of themselves for living in a unwalkable suburbia with poor public transportation.

"Who needs a car in LA? We've got the best public transportation system in the world!"

To be fair NYC should have never gotten rid of its trams, at the same time tho literally all froms of transportation work significantly better in NYC because we have density.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 2 pts · 150d
i'd argue NYC is actually so dense that public transport almost works worse, because no matter what you do things will be jam-packed with people (well, maybe not in outer queens..). Tokyo is the extreme example, where they have entire countries worth of subways and yet still sometimes need men with white gloves to help get the doors closed!
Whereas in a more "normal" city you can get to a point where the capacity is actually sufficient, and things get chill.

At the same time the extremely high demand allows the subway to justify massive and expensive extensions, the same is true in Japan. Also thats more dependant on the line and time of day.

How I look at cities that dont have 24/7 express subways :3

Me in my car or on my motorcycle happy that I don't have to feel like puking everywhere (I have terrible motion sickness)

It's funny, that's exactly how I look at people sitting on the bus while I enjoy the privacy of my own vehicle 😆. Although I might have a little more pity in my glare.

Guess how much I pay for gas? 🤭

You're doing more harm to the environment and shared spaces than the person riding the bus.

what exactly is non-private about a bus? are you the kind of person who walks down the street with a boombox on full volume?
Just wear noise cancelling headphones lmao
