buses, subways, trains.. how are you in them?

I try to avoid them. Don't like sitting close to people and I allways seems to attract strange people, drunks, mad and stoned people. In such occations I'm polite and that seems to make them go on forever. Glad I get around in my own car.

Thank god the people here don't shove or push each other as they get on the train or bus or as they get off. I heard they do that back east in real big cities; New York, Chicago.
People here are pretty friendly and polite. It seems like an autistic friendly city too. The signs are literal. "Right turn only except bus."
In the mornings, people are hardly talking simply because they are just waking up and they are going to work. In the afternoons people talk. They must know each other because I don't generally see people talking to others they don't know. I have rode in the afternoon and I see people on the bus and I wouldn't see them talking. Only time they start talking is if they know each other. You can run into the same people on the bus if you both happen to take the same route and ride it at the same time of day. I have even seen the same bus drivers.

I enjoy taking the public transit bus.

I'd take it to work everyday, but I start usually around 3-5am, when buses don't run.

I've never had a negative encounter of taking the bus for years, even late at night, or to and from school everyday. I've seen my fair share of weird people, but nothing's happened to me.

And they say we are inflexible?


Look at all those people, they need to learn how be flexible to sit facing their back to the front.

That's cool. I heard people don't answer you when you try talking to them, people don't really care if they hear commotion, so they won't bother to check it out. Is that right?

I once saw a fabulous cartoon in the New Yorker. A lady and her husband have been abducted by aliens, and the inside of the flying saucer looks just like a car on the underground. She's looking at him, and says "I just thought somehow they'd be more advanced."

i grew up in the city. i had special seats i would seek out on each vehicle. the main obkective was to sit alone with adequte space from others. peak hours were terrible. i was in the city recently and could not STAND the noise of the trains when i took my son on one. i hate the sity - too much stimulus and overload for me.

Shame people here don't fight to sit forward.

That sounds like fun to watch.

I'm ok, but only if it isn't crowded/full or if it doesn't have anyone annoying me.
