I too can predict who gets on the bus - normally it's just people at the stop who I see everyday; but a fair few get on and get off on the way continuously. My mate and me always bag the front seats as we're normally the first people on the bus. For the past fortnight or so though, this woman has been getting on and just looking at us walk up the stairs then just walk up and cut in front of us then take the front seats.
This morning I thought I was going to die from laughter; she got dropped off in a black car and the bus was pulling into the stop early - we were walking towards the bus - and she yelled at her driver the following - 'come on, get a f***ing move on I've gotta get there before those two kids'. She ran onboard like it's all her life was worth. I mean - how sad.....
Must admit we all have our positions on the bus on the school/commuter runs.
Same people use the services every day, and they always sit in the same seats. Mass disruption is caused when a newbie gets on and ruins the seating plan. Should see some of the faces people have when they see someone is in their seat.
I've become acquainted with most of the schoolies who get on my bus now, so we did have to re-jig the seating plan somewhat..!
