My First Bus

My First Bus

                This is the story of how to choose the seats on the bus in Washington in my experience. On a bus in Washington, the front part is the driver, who is in the front left corner of the bus and to the right of the driver is a machine for collecting the fee for the bus’s fare and then the entrance. In the back of this part is a long bench both right and left sides, and then four connecting seats per each side. In the middle, there are two seats on both sides. After this part, the two connecting seats are set in four rows per each side. In the back, there is a long bench, whose shape is like the letter “U”. My first day on a bus, I sat in the front, close to the driver. There is one guy who sat beside me. He is a heavy set tall middle -aged Asian. He was looking around the bus and repeating words two or three times. Suddenly he asked me about my shoes and tried to touch my feet. I felt scared and uncomfortable. I saw the sign on the last seat window that said “For disabled people”. After that I quickly moved there and he didn’t follow me. I learned that I should observe everything in order to protect myself from this new city and the people that travel on the city bus.
