Public Transit and Whatnot

So, since I take the bus to school twice almost every week day, sometimes I notice weird things. Some things really aren't all that crazy, but sometimes I wonder about some of these people..
The other day I was sitting across from a guy who kept petting his balding head...lol
I saw a lady the other day who was wearing a Jonas brothers hat.
There was this guy yesterday who kept playing guitar on his leg and moving around while he played some baseball game at full volume on his phone >.<
On a bus ride with my boyfriend, I saw an 18-wheeler semi truck pulled over by a cop on a motorcycle. It was funny because of the size difference. I also don't see cops on motorbikes that often these days..
I watched as a lady was being arrested beside her car. That was an interesting sight.
I've been in the bus as it slammed on the breaks, sending people practically flying into each other.
I've also been in the bus as it hit another car, well, tapped a car.

What really bothers me is when people listen to their music on their ipods so loud that I can hear all of the words.. The reason you have tiny speakers in your ears is so that other people don't have to listen to your music.. Also, have fun loosing your hearing at a young age, let me know how fun it is when you can't blast music loud enough to hear it at all.

A fun experience (not really) from this past semester: The bus driver apparently didn't know all of the various routes that the buses take from my point A to point B. There are a bunch of different ones because of construction going on at different places on different days. This driver, I don't know, maybe he was new to this route or something, because we ended up going down the freeway, past the exit to go towards my school, and then over the bridge. He had no idea where he was going, so one of the passengers directed him toward Ikea, where he turned around. He was directed to the nearest skytrain staion, where all of the passengers were dropped off. Here, we were actually closer to the big campus, which itself is a half hour bus-and-skytrain trip from the campus that I go to for all of my classes. So, we hopped on the skytrain, had to transfer skytrains at the next station, and then made it to school in the knick of time....just in time for a midterm of mine.

So, like I was saying here, we also have a skytrain system. I have no idea where else in the world they have skytrains, or anything like them. Probably more than I can think of.. I know in Japan they have 'bullet' trains, or Shinkansen,, which (the newer ones at least) can go over 300 km/h (180ish mph). I'm not entirely sure why you would need to get anywhere that fast unless you were travelling distances.
Anyways, I don't go on the skytrain very often. The only time I do is when I want to go to Downtown Vancouver or some place where it would be more convenient than driving. (Or apparently when I get dropped off by lost bus drivers..lol)
I found that if I sit backwards on the skytrain (because they have seats facing both directions) I get motionsick instantly. It's kinda weird, and really annoying.
