The bus has 33 people on it? Even buses in Korea don't get that packed in most places.
33 is packed??
Try riding the bus when the children go to school. It will be so full, that combined with emptier busses you are sure to get the 33 on average.
Yea. The bus I take when I go to vocational school is one of those long double busses with bellows in the middle. If you get there at the wrong time, it’s packed to the point the doors won’t close. It has like 50 seats or so alone and at least the same amount of people standing, if not more. It’s crazy how many people you can squish in a single bus. Luckily the ride is only like 10min because it does get uncomfortably full at times.
Also, as a nice extra, the busses are fully electric, also.
I believe the technical term is: A bendy bus
Makes sense. English isn’t my first language and even in my first language (German), I couldn’t tell you how they’re called. Most people just call them double busses or accordion busses.
Gelenkbus
Ah. Danke. Ich wusste nur, dass die Ziehharmonika in der Mitte Faltenbalg heißt.
Russian here, the main routes are always packed here (esp during rush hour)
Doesn't matter, if it was carrying 25% of the people that the cars are it'd be baller.
