I’m not anti seatbelts or anything like that, but I love the irony in how strictly (and expensively) enforced seatbelts in cars are, but them when it comes to replacement buses, it’s ok to stand while your NASCAR wannabe bus driver is doing 100 (or 110) down the freeway. Idk what it’s like over your ways, but the buses they used for the Sunbury line were so run down and old I don’t think there’s much hope of surviving a crash even at 60 while you’re sitting, let alone standing. Plus city buses are almost exclusively low floor and don’t have very thick side panelling, so there’s no protection you’d get like I’m a road coach

Absolutely! We were hurtling along and I had that meme pop into my head “hehe, I’m in danger” cause if something goes wrong I’m TOAST!
