Anyway, I personally would rather stand on the bus than, umm, stand at
the bus stop...

I can't understand why we are allowed to stand up on buses, when in a
car one must not only be seated, but have a safety belt into the
bargain. Who said buses were safer - if the driver has to stand on the
brakes, passengers go flying and can hurt themselves.
