Water Wars coming soon. WW3. Uncapped reproduction tends to diminish resources faster who would have thought 🤔

no fucking thanks
I used to commute a couple of hours by bus to a college I worked at, and I hated how people would push to the front of a line to get on, trampling people in their way. That was a crowded bus, but there was enough room (barely) for everyone. No reason to act like that. And then you have the fact that people would constantly get on and stand at the front of the bus, blocking everyone else from getting on.
Riding busy busses definitely contributed to my general misanthropy.

I don't get the rules here. Can I just arm bar people and shove them out of my way?

as a former bus driver i wouldn't even open the front door, all those people in the front block your right mirror with their heads and you can't see shit

Yeah. No way I'm moving like that, even if she'd move with the doors open, which ours wouldn't.
Number of people who wanted to sit or stand up front leaning on the windscreen too. Silly sods.

That would be illegal for public transit in the US (passengers in the front and running with the door open, yes I've seen bus drivers violate both). Not sure about private transportation, but blocking view of mirrors seems like a DOT issue.

Yeah, I drove in the UK. It would be illegal because overloaded, blocked view of mirrors, blocked view forward. Door may not be illegal (years since I drove so can't remember) but would definitely come under reckless/dangerous driving.
I drove for one of the biggest national companies, and all our buses were interlocked so the brakes wouldn't release if the platform was down or the doors open.
Also ours had upwards of 15 cameras and were massive snitches so drivers wouldn't take the risk even if they could. I dread to think what AI stuff has been added since I retired.

Very important you don't let anyone off, to make more room..

Have you ever actually ridden a bus? You load in the front and unload in the back. That's why you don't see anybody in the shot trying get off, anybody getting off at this stop would be using the rear door(s).

u/nakagamiwaffle 22d ago
that depends on the country. in some places every door is used for both and there is no custom of using the back for unloading. you just wait for the people to exit through every door and then you enter.

Where all the Europeans that complain at Americans for having too few public transportations?
