Another Revision feeder 2.2

I decided to observe the micro culture of bus riders. Bus riders really seem to have a culture of their own when they are on the bus. They have cultural norms of what they do before and after they board the bus. I watched as people walk up towards the bus stop standing in some sort of line that puts the late comers farther away from the stop. As people wait they stand there listening to iPods or staring in space, but no one makes eye contact with anyone. Even people who seem to be acquaintances with one another will only say hello and goodbye. Everyone seems to have some sort of hidden agenda that does not require interaction with others around them. As the bus approaches people walk in all directions trying to come to the exact spot where they think the bus will stop. It’s like a game, whoever can guess where the driver stops wins. As people start to board the bus they are told to wait because passengers have to get off first. When they get on the bus people automatically search for a seat that is far away from other passengers. The goals are to not have any contact with another human being while on the bus. As people approach their stops they push the requested stop button, and get off of the bus with a polite thank you to the driver, who seems to be the only person they will show courtesy to while on the bus.
I hypothesize that bus riders tend to be anti- social people, and they are very goal oriented people who will not let anything distract them from where they are going.
This topic piqued my interest because I am a walker I like to see the scenery outside and the people as they interact with one another. I often wondered why someone would trade that to sit on a bus full of people who show no interest in others except for themselves and where they are going.
