    You don’t miss your stop with an alarm.

    The scenery is certainly different. You don’t always see roads, you look at the side.

    The seats are pretty comfy in train and bus, enough leg space too. I do agree with you that more padding and extra leg space would be always welcome, though.

      We’ll have to agree to disagree on the seats. It’s just not comfortable from my view. A cheap office chair would be an upgrade. We almost certainly live in different areas with different buses, so it’s not really something we can compare specifically.

      Completely different scenery is pushing it a bit. I can pretty much see whatever I could see out of the bus window through the windshield, and for the most part it’s not what you would call “scenic”. I don’t live in the country nor do I live in a big enough city for interesting architecture, so it’s just a long suburban and urban sprawl of slightly run down houses and low grade commercial along the bus routes. We’re not talking some run down dystopia, but there just isn’t much interesting to see, at least more than once.

      I don’t think an alarm would help me not miss my stop. The buses here are reliable, but not regular enough to set an alarm for arrival times. I was always worried they’d show up early and I’d miss it, and that sucked when the weather was bad.
