The idea of a barstool on a bus is interesting. Hope they take corners slow... I could see falling over backwards.

Any thoughts on how this further segregates the haves from the have nots, or the techies from the hippies, already a hot button issue in SF?
If it grows really big, it would also dwindle the already tenuous support for public transit in SF, as choice riders opt out for the privatized alternative.

QuoteBuses vs. busses. In 21st-century English, buses is the preferred plural of the noun bus. Busses appears occasionally, and dictionaries list it as a secondary spelling, but it's been out of favor for over a century. This is true in all main varieties of English.

So you see, I'm not wrong...I'm just old fashioned! :D
