Friday fun poll: do you prefer a window or aisle seat on transit?

Friday fun poll: do you prefer a window or aisle seat on transit?

Riding the bus while seated in the window seat!

I recently came back from a trip to the United States and when you fly, often you get to choose where you sit on the plane. I always choose the aisle seat when flying. This way if I need to get up from my seat, I don’t have to awkwardly squeeze my way out.

It got me thinking about where I like to sit on transit—is it the window or aisle seat?

On shorter commutes, I prefer an aisle seat so I can easily disembark when it’s my stop. But for longer commute such as riding the 410 from 22nd Street Station to Richmond, I like the window seat so I can have an uninterrupted commute where I can doze off or look out the window to pass the time.

It’s over to you, the Buzzer blog readers, again! Do you prefer a window or aisle seat? Let us know why in the comments section.
