      Plus, Anon is already on the bus. They could have been on the bus for an hour before the grasshopper got on.

      It’s not about how long it is. It’s about how unpleasant and dangerous it is to walk around 90% of America.

        It’s about how unpleasant and dangerous it is to walk around 90% of America.

        Imagine actually believing this though. Just huddled inside scared of the world. Sounding like a MAGAt.

          Lol what? Actually it just so happens that I am walking/biking a lot, but only because I currently have safe routes available to me. I’ve chosen my location very carefully with this requirement in mind. Until recently though I have lived in your average American town where you wouldn’t catch me walking unless there’s was no other option. Insults out of the cars alone would deter most people, but being in constant danger of being run over is where I draw the line.

            What does your “Average American Town” look like in your mind?

            What’s the population like?

            Is it Rural, suburban, urban?

            I’m only curious because I’ve lived all over and to say you felt unsafe in 90% of it makes me think it’s a you problem and not a problem with “Average American Town” or you’re just talking out of your ass.

        I used to start the day with about a 30min walk to work and end it with a 1h20min walk back from uni at the end of the day. Would end up with about 10km a day for about 2 months.

        You kinda get used to it, but I still prefer to ride my motorcycle since it now takes like 25min in total.

    A 40 min walk isn’t a terribly long walk but if it’s after an 8 or 10 hr shift, then it’s not exactly an enjoyable stroll lol

      my bus only went as far as that, it is bearable for me, especially because I can get some milkshakes to drink my way back.

      Sleep like a baby you say? Damn right!

    bus

    ticket inspector

    Are they talking about the driver or does their bus have someone punching tickets like a train?

      Not sure what country OP is in, but here in Copenhagen, Denmark they have ticket inspectors boarding busses at seemingly random stops, validating everyone’s tickets, and then leave the bus again. Because you can enter the bus through any door now, so you can easily avoid purchasing a ticket.

      Sometimes buses will have random checks, where a guy comes on and verifies everyone’s tickets. Unlike on a train, it doesn’t happen every time, or particularly often for that matter.

    Should’ve stayed on the bus. Never let them know their disguise doesn’t work on you. Now they might be coming after anon.
