The 10 Commandments of Transit @transitcommandments - Tumblr Blog

Wherever there is injustice, you will find this book. Wherever there is suffering, this book will be there. Wherever some guy is sitting on an aisle seat with his bag on an empty window seat, you will find: The 10 Commandments of Transit. Now available in a handy pocket-sized edition.

1. Know thy driver, and praise them.

Hail to the bus driver, bus driver, bus driver. Hail to the bus driver, bus driver man—or woman.

2. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s seat.

Your personal space ends where your fellow passengers’ personal space begins. Keep your ass, elbows and feet in check.

3. Remember thy surroundings, to keep them holy.

Phone calls: If they must be long, make sure they’re not loud. If they must be loud, make sure they’re not long. Keep your music and other conversations down, too.

4. Love thy neighbor as thyself.

We’re all in this together (‘this’ being both life and this bus.) Treat your fellow passengers as you’d like to be treated.

5. Thou shalt break bread at home, not in thy seat.

Your dinner doesn’t deserve to be eaten on a cramped, poorly ventilated bus. Take it home, maybe throw on a little music, dance with it. Your fellow passengers, and your meal, will thank you.

6. Thou shalt not sit in an aisle seat and put thy bag on an empty window seat.

Your backpack may have had a hard day, but it doesn’t need its own seat. Seriously.

7. Thou shalt yield your seat to those in need.

It won’t hurt you to stand, but it might be hard for someone else.

9. Take thy trash with you.

One man’s trash is another man’s treasure—unless it’s an empty water bottle or a coffee cup, in which case it’s probably still trash, so please take it with you and recycle.

8. Thou shalt keep thy shoes on.

Please don’t let out the odors within.

10. Thou shalt be grateful for the journey.

Appreciate the view out of your window, and this pause in your day
