Riding the Bus

There is more than one bus in the city. If you miss one, there is a good possibility that there will be another one coming along in the next few minutes. Additionally, a bus can only carry so many people; if you can't fit comfortably on one, why not wait for that next one?

These are questions that I ask myself every time I get on a train or bus in the city. Fortunately, I am usually getting on a bus or train at the end of the line so I'm pretty much guaranteed a seat or at least a little standing room. But it is amazing to watch everyone fighting for a seat, or trying to cram in the door at once, or even trying to squeeze that last person in before the doors close.

When did we reduce ourselves to cattle; do we realize that we are traveling like this intentionally? Maybe I'll just walk from now on...though that would likely be less entertaining.

Moo.
