When riding the bus, just pretend you're as crazy as everyone else. I am crazy, so I don't have to pretend. Much.

I've been on hundreds of bus rides and everyone is normal and just trying to get through their day. You see a few videos online and assume the bus is for crazy people when there are tens of thousands of bus rides everyday that happen without any incident.

Yeah like 95% of the time it's just a bunch of people trying to get about their day. 5% of the time it...isn't.

Depends where you live.

Different people have different experiences.

I'm not telling anyone they shouldn't use the bus. In fact I suggest people use it more. You have time to let your mind wander, and don't have to pay attention to anything other than to pull the cord before your stop. It's really relaxing...almost all of the time in my experience.
