i always thought living in a large city where i would need 2 take the bus or the train everyday would b cool, fun and authentic. but all these assholes duking it out on the bus have really make me think twice.
the latest vid floating around.
think this old man was in the right and just defending himself or was he just some racist getting antsy 2 throw down some hurt on a black bro?
it's not just physical confrontation in a public venue that makes me nervous about public transportation but also feeling like i'm on display. feel like there's nothing to do in a bus but look at the people around u and judge the shit out of them.
also feel like the bus/train is a good place for loud classless people to hit on yeses at annoyingly loud volumes.
this woman is getting eye fucked hard.
feel surrounded sometimes, like i would suffocate 2 death if 1 more person steps on this train. what would u do if the last thing you saw was the inside of a subway train and a bunch of people who smell like piss, vomit, alcohol, and natural bod odor?
feel like this zany character and talk to myself in my head with alot of reverb.
think waiting underground for a train in the subway station is one of the most depressing places on the planet. always makes me feel like a poor. h8 the dirty, damp, trapped feeling of being underneath the streets.
these places make me feel like a gerbil or a rat crawling through the tubes in its cage.
is it more authentic for alts 2 ride the bus/train, or 2 ride their fixies around?
never seem 2 find alt yeses on the bus. just see a lot of old poors or women in pants with stretchy elastic waistbands. think attractive women have ways of teleporting 2 their destinations since i rarely see them driving/riding anywhere.
does public transportation make u nervous?
do boats count as public transportation in Venice?
do u ride the bus just to have a chance to fight someone?
do u wish everywhere u had 2 go was within biking distance?
i ride the rapid to/from school every day.
ReplyDeletegranted it is run through the school system, so it is a bunch of college kids.
public transport is probably more raw, see the real heart of downtown and all its creepy critters.
I have no idea how hot people get from one place to another. I NEVER see attractive people driving or riding. EVER! there must be designated times of the day when they are all out at once, or teleporting is definitely an option.
I want to live in a big city, where everything i need is surrounding me, i feel like i would enjoy my city and its surroundings if i didn't have to waste so much time trying to get there...
i WISH i would see a fight on the bus. instead i just ease in on other people's conversations, absorbing their lives. It's almost impossible no to make eye contact with someone, and their is always the jerk who decides to do all of their grocery shopping during busier riding times. Do you know what it is like having someone else's bag of chips sitting right in front of your face. and they don't even offer you some, at least for the temporary inconvenience...
But even more awkward, is when the stranger next to you starts a conversation. One guy almost convinced me into being a geologist...
I wish i had a nice bike, i bet there are so many more things and places i could explore without worrying about parking and gas.
i'm not as terrified of public transportation as i used to be,
ReplyDeleteas i've had to rely on it for almost the last 2 years.
i love riding the el - when it's still light out.
i can read or listen to my music
as i'm carted to my destination.
last weekend in venice, i had to buy a bus pass.
the bus was a boat. so yeah there are water buses / water taxis that = public trans.
i like efficient transportation.
in rome buses come when they feel like it and stop whenever the driver needs a cigarette. the routes are not in straight lines and the stop for the opposite direction is not across the street.
yeah chicago and GR and other cities could MAJORLY improve they're public transportation systems, i miss american efficiency, standards, and regulations.
also in europe you are not allotted
your personal bubble.
if you're on a train during rush hour, you're touching wayy too many people to feel comfortable.
it is a convenience though, especially for those that can not afford cards or parking etc. etc.
so i'll continue to put my head phones on, mind my own business, and carry my pepper spray as i'm chauffeured from one place to the next. thanks for the update. i was antsy.
