Put some headphones in your ears and read something. If you get too caught up in wondering about other people's shit, you will forget about your own shit.

Subway tops the bus for weirdos by a mile. Instead of wondering about how they got to where they are you instead wonder how they are still alive.
My personal favorite character is the 70 year old grandma knitting on the subway. She looks like she's been there for a week and sure as hell isn't leaving soon. What does she eat? Why does she knit only scarfs? Does she trade scarfs for food?

Do you have those cool double-decker buses in Dublin? If you don't I can't see why the bus would be so koul. Unless they have kegs on Irish buses.Oisín | Irishpride wrote:

I fucking hate the bus. Slow, expensive and never on time.

Dude, really, you have potential to be a book writer. I like how you can describe things and actually make me think what you think when you see them. You should pursue that because you really have that touch of analyzing and to imagine what could they have done to be like they are now.Macbeth wrote:
I had a deep thought on my way home from class today. I was on the bus at about 8:50 and I noticed how much I actually really love it.
There is so many people there with all different lives and views on things all gathering around in a little metal box to get to another point to continue their lives.
3 things I love seeing, the 20-40 year old couple on the bus, the 40 something year old going to the local Community College, and the woman with a baby.
The 25-40 year old couple is always a site to behold. It's like watching true love, kinda. You always see the man and woman sit close together. The man always has a grime melancholy look on his face. You could feel the depression and shame of him not having a car and being forced to ride the bus with his partner. With a blank stare ahead, dreaming of whats to come later and of better times with his partner, hopefully with a car.
Then there's the woman, and here is where I get the love part. The way she looks at the man; wide eyed and with a look of pure ecstasy. Curled up close to him snuggling as the bus drives along. As she looks at him with her wide eyes and smile you could feel the love of "I don't care whatever happens I still love him". Something beautiful about it.
Then there is the 40 something year old going to the community college. With a look of desperation on their faces at all times. They at any moment could just break into tears, sad to see but it makes me wonder about them. I wonder in my mind where did they go wrong in their lives that they have to go to a Community College at the age of 40, holding books like Basic Algebra and GED prep. Drugs, sex, laziness or some other misfortune put them into that situation I think. I want to reach out every time and ask them "where did you fail at life at" but it would be cruel.
The woman with a baby is a hybrid of both of the earlier groups. With the hopelessness of the 40 year old but with the love of the couple. She knows she fucked up somewhere that she is in her mid 20's riding a bus with a young child but she still has hope that maybe in all she could do something to give her child a better life then she has now. She wants the best for that child and would surely give her life if she was attacked by a lunatic. Every time she looks at the child my stone heart melts, you could feel the love.
That is why I love my bus ride every Tuesday and Thursday.
If you are easy spoken you should at least look at them and say hi, and if you are open and frank with them in no time you'll become friends with any of them. At least that is how it has worked for me with people I stare and think of.
Nice description again.
Yea, the bus is fucking awesome. It's like a trailer park combined with a rest stop restroom on wheels, only without all the charm. Where else can you ride around town with the unemployed, the degenerates, the pedophiles, and the vagrants? Most sewer systems smell better. It's like going to prison for a 10 block ride.
I took a bus ride once and caught aids. Fuck waxing poetic about public transportation; the bus blows more ass than that lady I saw in the Tijuana donkey show.

Buses arent that bad... Though you should get a ride with a train here. Full of hobos, drunkards, food and funny smells.
Its a must have experience

Public transit in NYC is clean and easy. It's only a hassle during rush hour. It sounds like you live in a town where your tax money is going somewhere else.GravyDan wrote:

In NY public transportation is practically a requirement. I hated circling the same block just to find a parking space that I didn't have to walk 3 miles to my destination. The subways and bus systems in NY encompass all walks of life and despite the sever overcrowding they are quite tolerable. Here in CA...not so much.Superior Mind wrote:

I rode the loser cruiser when I was in college. You see a lot of strange things that you wouldn't see otherwise. One of my favorite experiences was running out of the bus with a Hispanic dude to help an old lady that we saw fall down on the sidewalk outside. Everyone else just sat there like nothing happened. She fell over when her walker got caught on the lip of a driveway and she pulled her husband down with her. Kind of funny now that I look back on it.
Whenever I ride the metro to the Lakers games there isn't much to see. It's usually just Average Joes commuting home to work. One time I was with my buddy and we were critiqueing all the graffiti that we passed on the way. This guy in a suit comes up and tells us, "I've been riding this train for 7 years and that's the first time I've ever heard people critique the graffit. Thanks for the laughs" or something like that.

Bus is cool, getting a blowjob in the back of the bus= priceless
When I did catch the bus (only stopped like a few days ago because I can drive anywhere nao ) for school, it would be full of maoris, islanders and bogans from the other school a few k's away. They'd ask us shit like 'oh brooo, is your school rich as?','how much do you pay for your school bro?' (once I replied Kuwaiti gold bullion, and they were liek wahts gold bullion) and general shit like that. We also have to wear ties, long trousers and blazer jackets, and all the time they ask us if we have to wear it every day/ all the time. The bus never changes.
Plus one time a bunch of others from my school counted how many of 'them' there were (they all get off at one stop, because they get out at the train station to cross to the shopping centre), and it took over 5 minutes and there were over 90 people, squished into the bus. Once too the bus was so fucking full of those stinking fat sweaty maoris that they had to go drop them off at the trainstation/shops, and came back for the people at my school. I got on the bus 45 minutes lor so later than when I should've.
tl;dr, nipples.

I like the bus. Current bus driver on the way home is a complete douche, though.

I never take the bus, but I get the Metro to uni through the week and I hate it.
I always end up sitting / standing next to an alcoholic who smells like a boozer at 8am or a mentally ill person.

This is one thing that really pisses me off, They play music loud when getting onto the bus, I ask them to turn it down they do, until they sit down and it starts again... i tell them again, if they ignore me or fail to comply with my instruction the engine goes off and I park it up. Nobody wants to hear shitty music on a shit phone!theDude5B wrote:

The typical sweet old lady is my worst nightmare they are arrogant! They firmly believe the bus is there for there own personal use, nobody else! Here in Birmingham the OAP pass is valid only from 0930 but they all que up at bus stops from as early as 0900 trying to get onto the bus... Just stay in the house till after the time! They moan they have been standing in the rain for half an hour, but its not my problem that you got to the stop WAY before the time your pass is valid. Half nine is terrible invasion of OAP's with shoppin trollies like dawn of the deadtheDude5B wrote:

Expensive? Maximum fare £1.70 and you can go from Birmingham to Coventry for that. Its A LOT cheaper than owning a car.ghettoperson wrote:
