What bother me is when I get on a bus and people immediately move from the
front seats to offer me the immediate seating. I prefer the seats which face
the direction of the going bus. Many times I ask the bus driver not to move
until I get to such a seat. I found that bus drivers will stop midway
between stops. During the winter, when the snow is caked on the ground I
asked the bus driver for this kind of service.
