Does anyone else enjoy riding the bus?

I really enjoy the hell out of it.  It costs money, sure, but I usually get a monthly pass so I don't spend $5 per day on my daily commute to Phoenix College.  Summer is an exception because I ride sporadically.  Anyway, I just enjoy chilling in my seat watching the outdoors zip by.  It's nice and air conditioned in the bus, which is amazing for these hot Arizona summers.  I also see plenty of hot chicks on the bus too, which is good to pass the time.  One thing I hate is how I never know when some busses are going to arrive.  They're usually fairly consistent, but some are totally random.  I'm often stuck sitting in the hot sun for a while before one finally comes.  Usually I'll bring my guitar along with me to pass this time (I only play it while I'm waiting; I'm not a douche who plays it on the bus and shit).  All in all, I really like using public transportation.  The people are cool and friendly and I get to interact with people at the bus stops.

  1. I'm okay with riding the bus as long as it's NOT rush hour. Then it gets unbearable.

  2. I know what you mean. Countless times I've had to change my route on the fly because I don't want to deal with tons of people.

  4. As a student I ride buses a lot, but they're oddly relaxing. Just chillin' in the back with some headphones on...

  5. I'm not a huge fan of riding on the bus, mainly because I'm not very social and it can be quite awkward.

  7. @James: Same here. I love chillin' in the back of the bus listening to the Ramones or some Sleeping with Sirens.

    @Odium: It isn't too too bad. I was the same way but I eventually got over it.

  9. Way to go for living in a good area. Most who use public transportation aren't so lucky. Following.

  11. There is something about riding a bus. Same thing with walking a crowded street. It's like feeling you're a part of civilisation.

    Bottom line, it is better than just going by car. :D

  13. I do too in a sense. I've met some pretty interesting characters. I always enjoy seeing "regulars" on my route too.
