Five things…to do on the bus

May 1, 2008
1. Ignore empty spaces and deliberately pick a seat beside the one anti-social person who’s trying to take a whole row up with their bags Their attempt to isolate themselves is probably a front anyway, deep down all they want is to be loved!
       
2. Try the bus version of musical chairs. Change seats every time the bus stops, if you pick the same one as before or accidentally sit on something, you’re out. It’s good exercise too! Just wait until the bus is quite empty before trying or the other passengers may get a tad annoyed with you pelting across the aisles.
     
3. Play I Spy with a friend for hours of bus fun. Well maybe five minutes of fun.
         
4. If you prefer not to make a complete ass out of yourself, the bus is simply a good place to catch up on some reading, much like a bathroom. Just don’t get the places two confused.
    
5. You could also listen to some nice relaxing music, but for the sake of the other passengers don‘t play it out loud. Although you may think Hearsay is a great pop band, trust me not everyone will agree.
