Nice and brave taking buses everywhere!

Just about sums it up although once you get off the highways bus travel is REALLY slow. Allow plenty of time to get to where you want to go

I always take the bus and enjoyed reading your report.
Since many routes run frequently, I sometimes pass up a very jam packed bus and hope the next one will have a choice of seats. Some things I look for: being near a window that actually opens and away from any speakers that may have blasting music. If I plan to get off before the last stop, I will also look for a place near the exit door.

Anyway, you get to know all these tips and more. I still find bus travel more relaxing than driving...cheaper too. I have met nice people on the bus also. The stories they have told me about their lives still stick with me.
