Yes, that would be much nicer, wouldn’t it? And a wonderful poem, by the way…

This happens all the time. I agree with you.

Nice to read this piece.

Keep writing more about it. It is really gracefully and very well written skill.

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers.

I like the flow. I could relate to your ordeals, Christine. Must cut down on chocolates and eat a balanced diet.

I have experienced it before. Travelling by bus can be uncomfortable especially when it’s overcowded inside the bus. Well-composed piece, thanks and have my “liked it” as usual.

Yes, you are right! I had fun reading this poem..

Good poem about something real and to the point. I had same experience but on a plane seats small and leg room was bad I had to stand and walk to the back to stretch, aw well not too bad I chatted with hostees at least.

very interesting poem again, I smiled when reading about the butt hanging at the aisle, hahaha.

CR…You are bang on…authorities are trying to promote more use and wider acceptance of public forms of transportation but they need to have these forms of transportation adapt to providing rider comfort…take out one row of seats to provide for some uncramped leg room and add an inch or two to seat widths and ridership would greatly increase. Great write and enjoyable read…I hate having to use a shoehorn to try and fit into a too small of space…especially at the rates they charge to ride in discomfort. I voted that I like it…keep up the great work. Thanks…

I think the majority of folks have a wider bottom than public transportation seats allow for. Good write!

Christine they never think about our comfort only how much money they can make.

The more passagers they can squeeze in the more money they make.

Money sets the rule! Well… also inspires people to get slimmer!
Nice write!

That was a funny one. Couldn’t help laughing at line 11

So true, that is also the case in almost all buses in our country, The seat size only fits those who are skinny. You really has a nice way of putting your thoughts in a poem. Thanks Christine for the share.

you write so many truths in this little piece thats why I drive on my own or go first class hmm

Very nice write again.

I’ve enjoy reading your poem.

nice one..loved traveling by bus..thanks for sharing

I don’t ride buses to much but I have the same problems on planes. I love the way you can make the verses flow. I have said this before and I will say it again, you have a talent with a poem.

We rode the greyhound bus when I was a child and it made me carsick every time. Later the greyhound cut out service to the small towns and communities and the bus wasn’t available for those who didn’t live in larger towns and cities. Too bad, many people depended on the bus.

Thanks for sharing!

Blessings.

Enjoyed a lot reading this wonderful piece.

Hi Christine,
I have been on the other side where I am squished against the window from someone sitting next to me in our small seats. Your poem is fun to read.
Blessings,
Chris

Thank you and hope for the best information that you will get to read articles and by similar embroidery please keep writing.

sometimes I think the same about the cars they are now building. I’m having trouble finding a truck that I can fit into

A very amusing and fun poem Christine. As a young student I used public transport a lot and know what you are talking about..:)

That’s a good job of it Christine, but I’m afraid like so many thins, the seats are designed with dollar signs in mind rather than the derrieres of those who will use them.

Another top poem Christine

I really enjoyed your poem and relate to it. The buses here in New Jersey are uncomfortable too and they are overcrowded.

good that you still can seat, in the Phils not only you’re standing but the push yourself to get in.

I enjoyed reading your poem but I don’t have any experience with buses.

I’ve always wondered what it would feel like riding one of those double decker buses. They look like the bus in Harry Potter

I am so glad to see we are not the only ones who suffer from tiny seats. I often think these buses were designed centuries ago when people were smaller. Thanks so much for your comments.

Christine

Perhaps they don’t want us to get too comfortable and sleep off the bus. So they they make sure that we stay awake with the pinch from the little squeezes. LOL. A great write Christine.
Monica.

now I know why I never travel by bus.

Style your writing is good, you slaughter order method described in the article you have so much good information.

Awesome article, with so many truthful facts.
Fantastic

Ha ha! I know what you mean

Well, Christine me being mr lean and not mean, I just squeeze in between the window and mr large he he nice write. cheers

lol the seats on the buses I’ve ridden haven’t been to bad, though I do try to get a window seat because being a bigger girl, it’s easier to squish closer to something that doesn’t mind squishing closer to. Skinny people rarely have trouble sitting in an aisle seat (while sitting next to a bigger person) unless they like to spread out and purposely plant limbs into the aisle. However, since it’s rare that they usually, truly squish toward the wall, a bigger person isn’t going to squish into someone they don’t know and the result is uncomfortable sitting.

Great analogy and poem! I’m sure comfort is not on their mind when they designed buses.

Great poem!!! I liked it a lot…

Excellent!
