    I don’t get it?

    As an aside, there’s always something to hold on to on the bus, even if the driver accidentally fills it to over capacity slightly. Even if the primary handholds are all used up, each seat has a large handhold to facilitate moving around safely, standing and sitting down, but I’m a pinch they can be used by a standing passenger to.

    If the bus were so full that all of those were in use, it would be dangerously and obviously wildly over capacity. I’ve never seen this happen, not once in my life.

      It’s a Naruto reference. The shinobi in the show channel their chakra (i.e., magic ninja energy) in order to adhere their feet to surfaces for various purposes throughout the show. I think you’re taking the joke too seriously.

      I have made the first-hand experience of genuinely nothing being in reach to hold onto, but the reason I couldn’t reach anything was that everyone was standing so densely packed, that there was really no way you could possibly fall over anyways.

      I can also recommend not having anxiety in that situation.
