Don't sing the buses any praises yet. The dark incentive to carry more people means the seats are quite rigid, vertical, bad quality and narrow in both directions. All in the name of transporting people like cattle (and for pretty much the same purpose). I can't sit in my city's new buses because my legs literally don't fit on the seat to the knees before hitting the next seat, even if I manspread. Have been asking around if other people are having this issue because I intend to file a legal case.
You're one of the few gangly ass tall guys with this issue, millions of people use busses without such issues, by this same logic you must think planes are a terrible form of travel as well, cause you can't fit in those seats with cramped leg room
Oh I think we can all agree airplane seats are the shittiest and airplanes are a terrible mode of travel, the whole experience has become godawful. If people had any other option that could transport them far distances quickly, they'd take it.
At least veniasulente does USE the buses even though they've become so uncomfortable. And filing a legal case is one way to prevent them from becoming even more cramped. You know, the reason airline seats/aisles are so shitty is because they got the government to carve out exceptions for them from the ADA decades ago, so you CAN'T file a legal claim.
