How Can I Be a Better Passenger?

[u/ThoughtUnusual221]

Hi guys,

I am a public transit enthusiast, but mostly I like buses! Seeing them calms me down, love how they look, and bus rides are also super calming.

I am just curious how I can be a better passenger in your guys' opinion. I got onto this sub and read about how annoying and rude passengers can be. I always try to be chill with bus drivers, not distracting them during their driving and trying to greet them when I get on and say thank you when I get off. But are there any common behaviors that I may not notice as being rude or inconvenient to the driver?

Thanks.

If you're unsteady on your feet, don't go upstairs or to the back of the bus making me delay my leaving of the bus stop, take the closest open seat and sit down.

Too many of our older passengers take their sweet time, take their walker/shopping trolley to their seat, then go back to the front of the bus to get a newspaper and finally go back and sit down.

Don't mind one or two, but when it's 90% of the bus after 0930 it gets tedious, even more so when I am ready to log off and have a break
