as a person who lives in a city with a functional yet endlessly annoying bus system, i will ALWAYS be a proponent for not getting on the bus with people packed from back to front and instead waiting the extra 7-9 minutes to get a seat on the next one. pulled this gambit this morning and was able to enjoy a nice (SEATED) commute instead of feeling the breath of a stranger caressing the back of my neck and i try my hardest not to fall on them. was i late for work? yes! but only a few minutes!
