Bus Length

Sometimes when you're at the first stop of a bus route, it looks like there's no way you're going to make it on based on the line length. I noticed this as I walked by one of the first stops. The line was just over 4 bus lengths. Slowly but surely, everyone made it on. If you think about it mathematically, a bus should be able to fit a little over 4x it's length of people. There are rows of seated passengers on either side. Then there are 2 more rows of standing ones if everything works out correctly. And of course... a line always has elbow room. So if you see a super long line, don't despair... you can most likely make it in!
