Friday Fun Poll: How do you spend most of your time on transit?

Friday Fun Poll: How do you spend most of your time on transit?

Do you read on transit?

I found the last poll so interesting, fun and popular that I thought I’d keep the poll vibe going with a fresh one. This time around, I’m curious about human behaviour on transit. We’ve had polls on what people do when waiting for transit, whether people read what others are reading on transit and what people read when riding transit, but we’ve never asked the bigger question: How do you spend most of your time on transit?

Do you chat on transit?

There are many things to do on transit. I won’t try to capture them all in this poll. I’ve created answers I imagine cover the majority of activities people perform while getting from a to b.

How do you spend most of your time on transit?

  • I look out the window (28%, 104 Votes)
  • I listen to music (23%, 84 Votes)
  • I read (17%, 62 Votes)
  • I people watch (9%, 35 Votes)
  • I access the internet (9%, 34 Votes)
  • I daydream (9%, 32 Votes)
  • I sleep (4%, 13 Votes)
  • I have a conversation (with someone on transit or on the phone) (1%, 4 Votes)
  • I watch videos (0%, 1 Votes)

Total Voters: 371

The comments on the last poll were arguable more interesting than the poll itself, so I really look forward to reading your thoughts on your habits on transit in the comments section.

This poll is actually a two-parter. This part (Part One) is devoted to what you do on transit. The next poll will be about the motivations behind those activities (to think about your day ahead, meet people, work, etc.)

Okay. Enough of the preamble. Let the polling (and comments) begin!
