How Buses Work

A bus, initially empty with no passengers and all seats vacant—what matters most in that situation? It’s execution speed. The faster you move to grab a seat, the better.

As vacancies dwindle and crowds grow, what should your strategy be if every seat is taken? Shift to a follower strategy: pick someone, stay close behind them, and wait for them to disembark so you can take their seat. If you don’t do this and just wander around aimlessly, tough luck—even when someone gets up, you’ll miss your chance.
