People pay good money to go on tour buses, but every bus is a tour bus. Listen to beautiful music and look at the beautiful world. The soundtrack to Speed (1994) is also a good option.
my experience is coloured by the STM being pretty chill but there are truly few things nicer than getting on a random bus route with your headphones and a good album and getting driven on a little adventure around the city. real potential for "my life a movie for real" moments
listening to music on a bus or on the train while alone and looking out the windows with some music in your ears is the closest thing to the poetic experience ever
It’s sweet and sentimental—you’re up, ruminating and thinking just like when your taking yourself with a good walk, but with less physical activity.
++ you can reflect with a good song and hear the sound of the bus moving, in transit.
