still on the buses


It must already be clear that I am obsessed with everyday habits and public transport as a place where people’s private and public selves intersect. Another (London) shift that did not used to happen, is sitting on the outside of two seats.

And another conversation, having squeezed past into the vacant space (and back out again) on a crowded bus:
“ I am just interested – why do you sit on outside?”
“Oh, there was someone there before who got off.” “
That does not stop you moving over.”
“Just didn't feel like it.”


I know, I need to get a life (and don't get me going on the London 'Boris' buses...)
