Where do you sit on the bus?

Oranage2

I've notice that more often than not i sit on the same seat on the bus, it's upstairs right behind the stairs, I sit there because i find it has more foot room.

So where do you sit on the bus and why?

Jaafa

On the roof. I like the fresh air.

As far away from the junkie as possible..there's always one!

alwaysadub

On Dublin Bus downstairs and try to get the seat just where you step up. Makes me feel a bit bigger:D

Near the front, away from the teenagers and their pretty clothes and MP3 ringtones. :mad:

Kimono-Girl

AlmightyCushion

Down the back, that's where all the cool kids sit.

Pauleta

I have a Bus sitting pattern as well. Always upstairs on the opposite side of the stairs and about the 5th row of seats :cool:

Ah, someone else who uses my method of selection. Nice choice.

The one right at the front usually has a decent amount of legroom too, whilst right at the back on newer buses tends to be quite good.

stovelid

on the drivers knee saves payin the fare brrrm

weldoninhio

3rd or 4th seat on the left from the front upstairs

Top deck (if there is one...obviously <_<) at the front. There's no legroom but the I like looking out the window, and people don't sit next to you

Victor Meldrew

I'm now a Luas commuter, but, when i rode the bus, it was always top deck, first row behind stairs.

Reasons: More legroom, right hand side is not in the gutter so has fewer potholes so smoother ride and between the axles, so smoother again..

Also if your nosey like me, you get to see who's coming up and down the stairs and more importantly we get to see if they're wearing a low cut top.

I love this seat too and is my next choice of seating when my first preference is taking.

Fortune_Cookie

I try to sit downstairs, on the chair right behind the stairs. You know the little single chair by itself. I like sitting there because I can read or listen to my mp3 player in peace and no one can sit next to me and bother me. I've had a few incidents with weirdos on the bus... the worst one was when some old dirty bastard sat next to me and started masturbating himself.

Mars Bar

I usually would sit on the aisle behind the driver, usually in the first, second or third row. That's until recently where a van crashed into our bus and the glass came in on us and the impact from the van killed our bus driver. I've decided that side isn't as safe as the left hand side so I sit over on the left hand side now if I can.

starviewadams

On the nice bus(no drug addicts)top deck down the back,right in the middle so I have lots of leg room

On the not so nice bus,top deck,behind the stairs because of the slightly more leg room.

I'm farly tall and barely fit into the normal seats,and when I do my knees are squashed against the back of the seat in front me and they take a fair auld battering,especially going through estates with ramps!

Lex_Diamonds

I usually get the 145, so on the windscreen ledge beside the driver. :rolleyes:

My name is URL

About 3-4 rows down, usually on the left. I don't know why.. I'm sure there's some psychological mumbo jumbo that would suggest it's because I want to sleep with my mother

Star Bingo

instinctively up the stairs n straight to the back. i know nothing else, best seat in the bus. not having some skanger gombeen fidgeting behind me if occupied i'll shift em to where i can see em. alternatively i am not risking sittin near some plank that sits completely elsewhere just cos of that element - you make that throne your own they are just paupers

krudler

I dont ride the bus as I'm not a peasant.

Sofiztikated

Where do I sit? In the car, passing you out, listening to my own music, in comfort.

If I have to get a bus, if its a coach type bus, 3/4 way down, just in front of the back wheel, left hand side. Don't know why, just like staring out the window.
If its Dublin Bus type buses, then I try for the same place, but if not then wherever there are no/less people.

starbelgrade

Ain't no buses round these parts, y'all.

Rothmans

I prefer the older buses like the number 17. I usually sit on the top left with my back to the glass. Either that or at the back.

KeithM89_old

Always downstairs - i wouldnt go up stairs on a bus if you paid me.

if i took up that attitude i wouldn't even leave the house, wealth is a state of mind n i know skanks tend to be limited, to say the least -
fcukn cabbies don't fare much better so its always straight to the back of the bus n have a little smoke. just to pass the time of day

aligator_am

On Dublin Bus I usually aim for the solo seat beside the stairs, I'm a bit of a wide load so it saves the awkwardness of another fatty planking down beside me and the two of us wishing we'd started on the slimfast several months earlier.

Mint Sauce

The only time I usally get a bus is the airport service to/from bus araus. Why the hell it doesn't got to connolly as well I dont know, and yes I know its only about a minute or two walk but people might have cases considering it's an airport service.

Any how, in answer to your question, the rear facing seats at the back, quietly thinking to my self, 'damn I wish that stopid fecker would get a set of ear plugs', as I look over my shoulder every so often to see if my case is still there.

In my car

AnonoBoy

Same place as I sit everywhere else - on me arse.

shane1992

I find the luggage compartment on bus eireann really comfy.

phasers

Downstairs in the single seat if I can get it. If not, anywhere downstairs is grand. I don't sit next to people though, if there's no empty 2 seaters I stand. I have personal space issues.


Thankfully I drive so only have to get the bus when the roads are really bad.

plon

I sit in my wheelchair and hold on for dear life

admiralofthefleet

downstairs at the back if i can. i rarely go upstairs because i dont want to start smashing mobile phones that churn out that chipmunk music

Lol I know the feeling, there's been several mornings when on the bus the phone or MP3 player would die, it took all my effort not to go and smash those poxy chipmunk phones, I know the kids think it's cool but they came fierce close to doom, especially if I'd been on the snakebite the night before

CorkMan

If all seats are taken on the person in the wheelchairs lap.

Nemanja91

I'm not allowed sit down on the bus! :-p

The Shtig

Usually six seats down but I try to hide away from people especially on long journeys because I'm paranoid I'll look like a tit sleeping so i try to have no one opposite me :P

Nemanja91

No I was trying to be sly and not be racist!

strokemyclover

In a seat, if not I stand

V3nd3tta

Well when I was a college student all the way at the back on the top floor, now I just drive :P

Miss Lockhart

On the lower floor, on the opposite side to the driver, on the higher seat with the step up to it.

Copper23

Away from the girls who insists on shouting into their phone, being overly dramatic, to let the bus know how many friends they have.

and the mandatory "2pac feat AyiaNapaDancer (Remixxxx2010)" tune blaring out.

El Horseboxo

Same spot as the OP. Only seat that lets my balls breathe.

If I'm on my own, downstairs, left side, one or two rows behind the seats reserved for elderly people. I hate going upstairs because it's never a smooth ride and later on in the day it can be downright scary with all the scum, but if downstairs is very full, then upstairs, left side, somewhere near the middle of the bus.
