transit etiquette
feel free to add on
1. be aware of your backpack's spacial physics
2. don't stand in the doorways and think that hugging the railing somehow makes you no longer in the way.. maybe try getting the fuck off, holding the door, and getting back on when everyone is off
3. #2 w/backpack
4. getting off at the front of the bus is pretty fucking selfish unless you are above 70, handicapped, have a stroller (excluding those huge *SUV strollers), or no one is getting on. let's all wait an extra 15 seconds so some lazy piece of shit can hold up the natural flow of bussery. *(SUV strollers should be banished to the desert)
5. don't captain your seat and put your bag on the inside seat unless the bus is less than three quarters full. if you are making people stand so you can not brush jackets with them i want to strangle you with a next stop pulley cord.
6. don't end your innerbus commute in the courtesy seats. you keep moving to the back until you find a seat or hit a wall of people*. maybe these people enjoy having various groins and asses squeeze past them? maybe they can't feel the penetrating glares of the sardines in front of them? maybe they don't understand that "please move to the back of the bus" sound that keeps going off for some reason? (* exception to this rule: the standing room beside the two seats on b-lines on the middle connector)
7. obesity is not a qualifier for courtesy seats, and does not exempt you from getting off at the back doors.
8. barricading the sidewalk while you're waiting for the bus isn't necessary
9. if you see a long line of people waiting for a bus and you're approaching from the side closest to the beginning of the line, you walk all the way to the back. yes, even if you can see the bus coming. we're watching you.
10. if you're going to be a goon and stand in the doorway of the skytrain, you are designated footjammer for the people you see sprinting to the train. within reason. i don't have all day.

11. girls when I smile at you don't look away in disgust. when I say hi you will say hi back. bitches.
12. When the bus driver says move to the back, move your ass to the back
14. you don't have to turn up the music on your ipod to max to hear it. or learn how to put on the earbuds properly then you don't need to turn it up to max. it's amazing how many people who have them cranked up loud and their earbuds are not even on right
15. phone calls to a minimum or keep them short. if you must speak on the phone at least try to keep your voice down. instead of shouting try speaker a bit closer to the mic
i dunt know about that...
you're just bitter that girls don't smile at you.....you're prolly one of those creepy guys try to pick up girls on the bus!~ :omg:
Thanks.
wouldn't this be in conflict with rule #4? :angel:
or cigarette smell, makes me smell bad as well after a bus ride.
This applies to anything really, but whether I'm reading/writing a text message, looking at the newspaper, or going through my textbook, please, PLEASE do not peak over my shoulder in an attempt to see what I'm doing. Yes, I know that you're doing it, and frankly, I find it rather creepy.
hahahaha....dats funnny....maybe cz the bus ride is boring...wud you rather have them stare at ur face ...or look at ur newspaper?
19. Poles on the bus are for people to hold onto with their hands. They are not for leaning on, especially if someone is already holding onto it. Do like the rest of us and learn to support your own bodyweight.
20. No, I don't want your wet umbrella touching my leg when you sit next to me. Deal with it.
and the rule about smiling at others doesn't just go for guys to girls, if I smile at you, maybe it's someone that rides the same bus all the time, smile back!
