Reasons to Hate... Buses

I don't know about other cities but being on a New York city bus is like being in a smelly can of sardines, if half the sardines were old grouchy people that run over your feet with their carrying lots 'o crap canvas bag shopping carts and the other half were constantly talking megaphone loud on their cell phones and/or playing unintelligible music without headphones through their shite phone speakers.

For some reason it never matters how many people are enqueue to hop on the bus, none of them feel the back of the bus is somewhere they should go.

Is this because people are having some sort of flashback of pre-1960's trip where segregation kept folks in the back of the bus?

Anytime three people get off of a full bus and you are able to squeeze through you will always find that the back of the bus is not only full of space but there is always a seat or two that is empty.

There is the cart that is going to run over your toes

But it's not only the people that avoid the back, the bus driver seems to forget it exists all together. At least every other stop has someone pushing the door that won't open and having to bark up to the driver BACK DOOR!. You have to hurry too because the driver is ready to pull out before the front door completely closes. I wonder why drivers haven't gotten the hang of the back door. I've watched them do it. The door unlocks with a twist a door lever. If the driver doesn't twist it all the way it only opens the front door and not the back.

Every time you open your office door the back door of a bus opens

Now I have watched many people try to pry the doors apart right before they swing open and even if they wanted to they can't open the door. So why'o why doesn't the driver just twist the handle all the way each time? Avoid the bus. Get a car, ride a bike, do a Marty McFly and clamp on the back of a car while on your hoverboard but don't get on a bus.

All you are going to get is:
*Urine Soaked Old People
*Cell Phone DJs
*Unreachable Inner Space
*The Back Door Holla

The bonus is when you run for the bus the driver might slam the door in your face. Or better yet when the bus stop is on the corner and the driver closes the door while at a red light they won't open the door to let you on because, well, they already turned the door lever to CLOSE.
