i love the bus system
it's cheap, convenient for the most part.  i like taking the bus to work. i'm half asleep anyway so it's nice, you don't have to worry about parking, you can read your emails and maybe check deadspin or gawker.
it's nice to know that if you get blindfolded and dropped anywhere in SF, you're pretty much always 2 buses away from getting home

i would only change 2 things.

-i would put hand sanitizer dispensers in the front and back. it's just too damn dirty. one time i saw a homeless man wipe his bloody hand on the seat next to him. soooooo dirty. or when i see some little kid pick  his nose then touch all the seats.

-i would also limit the stops each bus makes. for example, the 38bus probably stops 24 times from my house to union square. there's also a 38L (limited) bus that probably only stops 10-12 times from my house to union square. so the 38L bus skips 1 or 2 of the normal 38bus stops. so it probably saves 15-20 minutes off the trip. i really don't understand why there needs to be so many stops so close to each other. WALK PEOPLE...sometimes, one stop is like a 1.5 minute walk away from the next stop. no no no. cut that shit out

. i understand that the seats in the front of the bus should be reserved for seniors. i get that. in the morning, my bus is probably 3/4 full, so everyone gets a seat. BUT, on the way home after work, the bus is always full with people standing most of the trip. luckily for me, i get on the bus pretty early in the route, so i always sit toward the back. about mid trip, the bus is full with people standing. and sometimes there are old people standing in the back. (like, not old old. if they were legit old, i'd offer my seat). and i feel like the "nice" thing to do is offer my seat, but fuck, i'm tired too. and if you think you're thaaat old, you should go to the front where you belong. i just stare out the window or at my phone and try not to make eye contact. sometimes i can just feel them looking at me like i'm some rude punkass kid who watches youtube videos on his iphone
