Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to use proper etiquette when riding buses, BART etc. School is back in session, and the lines are crowded. Take off your bulky backpacks (keep them by your legs), move to the center of the bus (especially if not getting off for a while), don’t block exits, don’t put bags on empty seats, avoid manspreading etc. More etiquette tips here.
