You're one of the few gangly ass tall guys with this issue, millions of people use busses without such issues, by this same logic you must think planes are a terrible form of travel as well, cause you can't fit in those seats with cramped leg room
Oh I think we can all agree airplane seats are the shittiest and airplanes are a terrible mode of travel, the whole experience has become godawful. If people had any other option that could transport them far distances quickly, they'd take it.
At least veniasulente does USE the buses even though they've become so uncomfortable. And filing a legal case is one way to prevent them from becoming even more cramped. You know, the reason airline seats/aisles are so shitty is because they got the government to carve out exceptions for them from the ADA decades ago, so you CAN'T file a legal claim.
Probably I would but I can't realistically pay for a plane ticket in this economy lol.
Oh well I'll never know.
But I did fit in older buses without issues, which means the buses are being shrinkflationed for capitalism. (I can't have grown 8 cm in one year yet kept using the same clothes, can I?)
Yeah, those evil vehicles of capitalism, checks notes buses...
I'd say "you gotta move the workforce efficiently" but... well, if that was the case the world would be trains.
Yeah that part might be true, although I don't think they've made it as bad as plane seats yet, and there's usual a few seats with nothing in front of them, like the ones for disabled people or the ones that are parallel to the bus walls
Yeah from what I hear now that I'm asking around, we're not even close XD.
