As a typical university student, I ride the bus. More than I like. And it’s not always the most comfortable of rides. So, on the behalf of bus riders everywhere, I would like to bring the following things to the public’s attention.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Do not stand in the doorway if you’re not getting off until the last stop. Actually, just don’t stand in the doorway unless you’re getting off at the next stop.<\/li>\n
  2. If you are standing in the doorway, open the door for the people getting off the bus. On a crowded bus, it can be hard to get to the doors in time and missing your stop can be very frustrating.<\/li>\n
  3. If there is an empty seat and the bus is crowded, sit down. This especially applies if you have a huge backpack of doom on your back. It of course does not apply if someone who needs the seat more than you is standing.<\/li>\n
  4. Your bag does not deserve a seat. Give the seat to the carbon-based lifeform that’s not rotting in your backpack. (Although it may be just as inanimate.)<\/li>\n
  5. Keep your music to yourself. At a managable level.<\/li>\n
  6. When the bus driver tells you to move back, move back.<\/li>\n
  7. Don’t cut in line for the express bus to the university in the morning, and then tell the person who was just about to get on that “there’s no room left.”<\/li>\n
  8. Please, have your fare ready before you board, especially if you’ll be getting on the bus first. It’s not really that hard, is it?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
