I'm pretty sure no one likes the seats that face each other. It's just a design that allows the bus to have more seats than otherwise possible.
Busses are so packed where I live, my real issue is the city not providing more busses and not the seats facing each other
I prefer the seats facing each other, but only because sitting sideways to the direction of motion somehow makes me less car sick.
Definitely still headphones in, eyes down. Pretend I'm focused on my phone or knitting, even if all I can think about is nausea, because i definitely don't want another awkward bus conversation. Make sure the knitting is contained on my lap and doesn't spill into anyone else's seat.
the busses were less crowded post covid here, and the solution seems to be fewer busses so it's more "efficient". which is awkward when using it to commute and my options go from "10 minutes early, on time, 10 minutes late" to "30 minutes early or 20 minutes late".
It’s funny you say that about sitting sideways because I prefer to sit forward for the motion control. Somehow the side to side stabilization is more uncomfortable for me than the forward and back as the bus starts and stops.
