The Travel
The bus has a certain romantic aspect to it, especially at night when there is a soft blue glow coming from the inside radiating outwards onto city streets.
The community builds while waiting for the bus - if your bus is late you have reason to complain about how terrible the transport system is. When you get on the bus and pay 3.85, you get transported to another world. You sit on one of the ugly patterned seats designed to hide inconspicuous stains probably next to a window if you're lucky. You put your headphones in and listen to music of your choice, while the city moves around you like you’re in a capsule. It’s almost as if it is a time machine and everyone on the bus is in it with you. You’re moving at the same pace in the same direction as everyone else on the bus, but the outside world is moving in different directions, at different speeds.
The bus is coming up to your stop, so you pull the yellow wire that goes from front to back to signal to the driver that the stop displayed on the sign above you is the one your getting off at. Getting out of your seat, you make your way over to the door. The doors open, and you jump out onto the ground a few inches below the bus's floor. The bus moves on to other places, and you walk to your next destination.
