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
Probably I would but I can't realistically pay for a plane ticket in this economy lol.
Oh well I'll never know.
But I did fit in older buses without issues, which means the buses are being shrinkflationed for capitalism. (I can't have grown 8 cm in one year yet kept using the same clothes, can I?)
Yeah, those evil vehicles of capitalism, checks notes buses...
I'd say "you gotta move the workforce efficiently" but... well, if that was the case the world would be trains.
Yeah that part might be true, although I don't think they've made it as bad as plane seats yet, and there's usual a few seats with nothing in front of them, like the ones for disabled people or the ones that are parallel to the bus walls
Yeah from what I hear now that I'm asking around, we're not even close XD.
