There’s an automated voice at Busarás saying “No pedestrian access” every 15 seconds non stop. Is this normal? If it is it’d drive you mad if you worked here. I’ll be gone in 3 minutes 🙂
I think someone said to Expressway “give your buses deluxe seats - more people will take your service!” But those seats are then bigger - but then as a result packed in super tight…
