I’m wondering if it’s a Midwest thing, and depends on the cohort, but I’ve noticed that people will spontaneously meet and chat about all sorts of things (from inane to WILD trauma dumps). Anyways just my amateur anthropology lol I typically hear transit reflected as an experience where everyone keeps to themselves

I regularly make use of my local paratransit service and it basically turns into a rolling social club when they start picking up retirees.

Honestly, it's pretty cool. I've heard a lot of really interesting historical stories about the area that aren't in the history books.
