Why are buses so exhausting? Buses are uniquely hellish thanks to two things: the constant vibration, and the rage you feel when the bus pulls off the Interstate into Middletown with 25 minutes of waiting at the station for no good reason. Plus you have that ten minute detour through suburban Middletown before you reach the station, and then you double back to re-experience it on your way out. Yay, you’ve just had 45 minutes added to an already too-long journey. Done just a few times, this kind of thing turns a four-hour trip into a seven-hour trip.
