1) P...What drives me nuts about the MAX & Bus:<br /><br />1) People who get on, and then STOP; thus creating a huge clog near the door. Most of the time there is still plenty of room between doors, or in the back of the bus - yet people get left behind because of the idiots jammed together near the front door won't let them in.<br /><br />1.5) People who get on an uncrowded bus, and then stand in the aisle just behind the operator (i.e. between the front wheel wells of a low floor). I get on with a child, stroller, etc - say "excuse me" and then when they don't move, I'm forced to shove them into the wall.<br /><br />2) People on the MAX who are jammed near the door and are unwilling to step off for 5 seconds, so that someone else can make it through the crowd to EXIT the train. Again, "excuse me" then shove them into a wall/other people/etc.<br /><br />3) (when not crammed) people who stand under the bike hook unable to figure out why I'm staring at them with my bike in-hand.<br /><br />4) People who given a full bus/train, still give their bag a seat. I've been on the bus with a stroller, a child, AND a backpack -- yet we still only take up one seat.<br /><br />5) Bus riders who exit through the front door (and aren't old/disabled/riding a bike/etc) -- delaying passengers from boarding.<br /><br />I think the attitude can be summed up as "well, I'm taken care of -- why I should I care about someone else?"Maxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161417976651424314noreply@blogger.com
