@lina
as someone who has on more than one occasion summoned a bus they were waiting for with the lighting of a cigarette: agreed.
Also: makes me think busses are small deities or demons?

(I know the Saints / small gods in Central America will accept tobacco as an offering)

@fritzoids There are sociologist takes that treat institutions and gods as basically the same thing. That would make public transport a deity.

I think this one is generally more responsive to proper infrastructure budgetting, union-negotiated salaries and ease of access but a cigarette surely won't hurt.

@holothuroid

ah, I like your take.
I'm going to support better budgeting (I think the bus and metro drivers where I live are already unionized) and better tickets for everyone (I want the 9€ Deutschlandticket back! google it! it was glorious!).
But I will treat drivers like minor deities that want respect and maybe a cigarette but one might still want to be careful around them.
