When standing, do you generally hold onto the bars or the loop handles attached to the bars? What did you do this morning if you were on one?
E: Sounds like bars are the popular option here too, for many reasons. Hygiene was a big one I hadn’t initially considered. Thanks for answering everyone!
Now look, I’m not a bus commuter, but I’ve been riding buses all over Europe and beyond, and I immediately just hold onto anything that’s in reach.
As a matter of fact, as long as there’s not a visibly old/pregnant/disabled/etc person around, I’ll make sure getting a seat no matter what and something to hold onto.
At this point I’m quite certain there’s a secret society of bus drivers with chapters all over the world, and their motto is “drive like there’s no tomorrow” and they all have “NO FUTURE” tattoed in huge black capital letters on their chests.
“Sorry ma’am, I’ll just need to hold onto your purse here for stability.”
