4. the bus

I like riding the bus.

The appeal for me is I am not held responsible for the nuances of outside: I like not dealing with traffic, pedestrians, the weather conditions...
I like listening to music or a pod while I stare out at the city.
I sit on the very back and look at people. I wonder what they are thinking; how are they using their little time bubbles, if not for contemplation and lip-syncing.
