[The Official Transit Thread]

Memo to the folks at Metrotown: I'm sure in whatever country you're from people start to mosh their way into train car like they're at a Slayer concert, but here you're supposed to wait until people have left the f**king car before getting on yourself. See, that way there's actually space for you to get on, right? All those other people standing beside are going to on too, so you saving yourself a whopping big ten seconds by shoving past guys like me (who are getting very close to punching you) doesn't amount to s**t as you must still wait for your fellow passengers to embark and roll their eyes at what an idiot you are.

Just walk through them.

Unlike you, I take it off EVERYTIME.

So? Whats your point?

Do you want a metal? A pat on the back?

I have a backpack too and I take mine's off when I board.

So do I when there's a need to.

Whats your point?

You must be the person who was pushing their backpack into my face after you boarded...

I like how irrational people get when they hear the word "BACKPACK" that makes them unable to read.

[The Official Transit Thread]

your post: "ill take it off when i get on and see theres people all over. "

There won't be enough time to take off the backpack when there's people on the bus. There will be someone left behind at the stop.

So you're telling me you can't take off a backpack as you step onto the bus and show the bus driver your pass at the same time?

Protip: I can.

I ask for the bus routes that you frequently take because then I'd have a good idea of how packed the buses are. Is it empty like a #10 bus in non-peak hours, or is it packed like a can of sardines like every other bus during the PM rush.

I know how busy my busses are. I've been riding them long enough to know. I'm on transit both when its not busy, when it is slightly busy, and when its very busy.

Read this (if you can). Take the backpack off before boarding the bus. Walk to the back of the bus. Make room for other standees on the bus.

Read this if you can. I'll take off my backpack when I see that I need to. Just as I always have(and as it has always worked, as I've never made any problems.)

Thanks though.

It doesn't matter how much control you have. There are always some things that tend to happen whether you try to avoid it or not.

i've been taking transit for 8+ years and ive never had a bag run into someone(someone hit my bag once, but that was there fault. QQ baby)

what now?

What bus do you take to your school/work?

Let me come by and show you what "oops, sorry. the bus suddenly braked" means.

I hold on. So should you.

Bus driver asks you to remove things from your body that is obstructive (ie: backpacks, bowling bag purses). Do it. Save the bus driver some saliva and get about 3 more people onto a bus.

Apparently you're hard of reading. read back a few posts. i take it off when people NEED to get on.

[The Official Transit Thread]

Because you can easily whack a sitting passenger in the head by accident, when you turn around.

I've seen that happen when the backpack person was the only standee.

i'm not an idiot and have control over my body and what im carrying.

what now?

[The Official Transit Thread]

You certainly have not seen how pissed off I get at people who don't stand above the stairs on a low-floor bus, or at those who do not take off their backpacks before entering the bus.

I've heard this so often. I doubt you do.

p.s. why would i take my back pack off if barely anybody is on the bus? ill take it off when i get on and see theres people all over.

[The Official Transit Thread]

I like to give them a Chris Pronger-ese elbow as i walk by them in the narrow aisles of the bus.

Subtle hint?

You probably don't.

[The Official Transit Thread]

When you get on the bus, take your stupid backpack off!

I only take it off if people want to get by / its packed.
