Fun things to do on public transport

Essentially, I want to open this blog post to ask: what weird and wacky things have you done on public transport? I'm running out of ideas on civil things to do. Let me recite on what I tried to do today: while on the bus, I was trying to plan the day ahead of me (hey, it is an hour on the road). Little did I expect that while you are travelling in a bus, you feel every small stone that the bus goes over with little bouyancy. In addition... you feel the brakes when it is applied. It is completely different to a car or mini-bus.

So that also throws away my next activity: using a Tablet PC on the bus. My handwriting looks like I have been writing italics all my life whilst on the bus. And oh, the constraint here is that hardly anybody talks on the bus... and if there is talk, it is gossip which I steer clear of. :-/. Anything else?

Listen to audio books. Nap. Try a computer-based self-study course. Read technical magazines. Do isometric exercises. Plan your daily schedule. Catch up on email. Wave at people...often.
