Update: I used to fight for a seat on the 7:15 bus, now I just stand and it's weirdly better
For like two years I would get to the stop early just to grab a window seat on the 7:15 into downtown, and I would basically glare at anyone who looked like they might take it. Last Tuesday I missed the rush and ended up standing near the back doors holding the pole, and honestly I got off at my stop way less annoyed than usual. Has anyone else switched to just standing on purpose, or am I the only one who gave up on the seat game?
