Open letter

Dear Trimet riders of Portland;

I will not be silent any longer. I have to get this out before I explode. Can you PLEASE tell me why you find it necessary to stand in the aisle of the bus during rush hour, when there are clearly open seats on the bus? Why is it that when I get on the bus, you insist on standing right in the front near the driver, blocking the way so that I can't actually GET ON THE BUS? Why is it that when the bus is getting close to crowded, you don't move back, and when you are asked to move back, you look all around like a deer caught in headlights and then move two steps!? When someone asks you to move back MOVE TO THE END OF THE BUS! Why is it that when you sit down on the bus you sit on the outside seat so that the inside seat is blocked to anyone else who may want to sit down? Why is it that when I politely say "excuse me please" when trying to navigate towards an open seat in the back that people in aisle are blocking, you give me a dirty look? And can you PLEASE tell me why during a single bus ride, only 2 out of many riders say PLEASE or THANK YOU to to the driver?

Its not like someone just gave you a ride or anything.
