It's been a while since I've had to take the bus to work, but it's always interesting when I do. Today's bus wasn't totally full when I got on, but it filled up quickly within the next 2 stops. Those were likely skipped by the previous bus because they had 2-3x more people than they should. Almost all buses look more crowded than they are because there's always one kid in the back that refuses to move and is blocking the way with his/her backpack. Today, it happened to be a middle-aged guy. Also, it's a bit more common with the new model buses where you have to take 2 steps up. It's no excuse though. Blocking the back can prevent 10 people from getting on the bus. If you're not going to move back, at least get out of the way. Don't wait for the bus driver to yell at you!
After the bus cleared up a bit, I noticed a girl having breakfast as she sat down. It's bad enough to eat on a train, but doing it on a bus really increases the chances of an accident happening. She was eating a sandwich and also had an open coffee mug between her legs. On a subway, sudden stops aren't that common, yet people spill food all the time. On a bus, there are sudden stops at every corner!
