When standing, do you generally hold onto the bars or the loop handles attached to the bars? What did you do this morning if you were on one?
I left Toronto some months ago, maybe I have rose-tinted glasses but I find the TTC and other buses there were way smoother of a ride than in Vancouver. I’m seeing if it has any influence on the amount of people using bars/loops via informal poll. Let me know your thoughts.
E: Sounds like bars are the popular option here too, for many reasons. Hygiene was a big one I hadn’t initially considered. Thanks for answering everyone!
Depends on how full the bus is and the driver. I can reach the bars so I’ll often do that if it leaves room for shorter people to hold the loops. If nobody shorter is around loops.
I concur in that I think rider height affects whether they grab the bars or the handles
