Well, let's just say it sucks...a lot! Sure it's an affordable way to avoid paying crazy amounts of money to park downtown (when you can find a place to park) but there are some SKETCHY people on the bus.
Cases in point:
Today there was a guy who got on a couple of stops after me and he thought it'd be funny to shake up his bottle of Coke repeatedly and then open it to take a drink... I sure felt bad for the lady sitting next to him...
Two kids at the back of the bus thought that it'd be cool to say f*** every 8 seconds - funny how the definition of "cool" evolves over time.
I overheard a guy telling another guy that he LOVES to dance because it's a good way to pick up women - even though he's a terrible dancer, he's always got good looking women looking at him! Hmmm....
The bus driver wants to race in Nascar and isn't quite focused because he missed one person's stop altogether, despite the ding the bell makes when you request a stop. One girl literally ended up on another's lap as the driver screeched to a stop on more than one occasion.
It's my least favourite form of travel because I don't have control and because there are some CRAZY people on the bus, they talk to themselves or loudly to others (even when unsolicited) and there's always the joyful, funky bus smell. But, for the long term savings, I'll breathe through my mouth and listen to my MP3 player and hope that the pop shaker sits far away from me...
