If you take a bus to class every day, you know the MTA struggle all too well. In NYC, public transportation is a blessing when you need to get where you need to go but, even the best of us run into trouble sometimes. Here are ten moments we've all had while commuting to class:
1. Walking to the bus stop while calculating in your head if you have enough money left on your card to get to school. Then, rehearsing in your head as you get to the bus stop what you're gonna say to the bus driver if your card is empty.
2. Getting on the bus and seeing a section of it taken up by high school kids, and for some reason being terrified by them just become they come in packs.
3. When you notice someone staring at you for a long period of time and you can't tell if they're trying to be flirty or creepy.
Then you finally make eye contact with them and it turns out they're looking out the window behind you for their stop.
4. When there's that loud person on their phone telling the most dramatic story, and half of you wants them to hang up, but half of you wants to know how the story ends.
5. When you're on the bus and the back door won't open at your stop so you have to scream "Excuse me! Backdoor!" like a maniac until the bus driver hears you, all while the rest of the bus looks at you like you're crazy.
6. Those days where you just don't want to sit next to anyone so every person who gets on the bus gets the "please don't sit next to me" face as they walk by you until the bus fills up and someone absolutely has to sit next to you.
7. When it's rush hour, the bus is packed and someone has the audacity to sit on the outer seat and put their bag on the window seat.
8. Running out of money on your MetroCard, but hoping the bus driver lets you on anyway.
9. Seeing your bus at the bus stop and seeing the "Next Bus Please" or "Not In Service" bus coming your way.
10. When the app says the bus is fifteen minutes away but when you get to the bus stop ten minutes later the bus the bus is leaving.
