Stop thinking you communist little shit! Need to stop buses so can sell more crrrs!

Now to make them really mad, think about how clean the air, how silent the streets were if we ONLY had buses. How technologically interesting they would be, with hepa filters so people dont get sick and have less argument for individual cars.

Don't sing the buses any praises yet. The dark incentive to carry more people means the seats are quite rigid, vertical, bad quality and narrow in both directions. All in the name of transporting people like cattle (and for pretty much the same purpose). I can't sit in my city's new buses because my legs literally don't fit on the seat to the knees before hitting the next seat, even if I manspread. Have been asking around if other people are having this issue because I intend to file a legal case.

I think you mean man spreading.

Also you could just stand you 7 foot tall behemoth

I take the bus home after a long day of work. Among the last things I want is stand; if I wanted to, I'd actually demand it be treated as paid overtime. Fuck terminal capitalism.

And yes I meant manspreading. I had to edit when I realized some 5 minutes after the fact.

Hey, points for using the bus system (even if it's because $) despite its faults. Consider about ways those cramped seats hamper people with various disabilities (canes/crutches/oxygen) and perhaps the % of population vs the number of "handicap seats" as you think about how to file a claim.

6' 1 3/4" and occasionally face (knee?) same issue.

In my opinion manspreading is voluntary inconsiderate behavior, not manspreading if forced by infrastructure.
