    Those buses I'm talking about are really new to us only, I think. They have them in other cities, BIGGER ones! The old buses we had were ok, I didn't see the point in making so many modifications to our streets just to introduce those silly buses :hilarious:

    Possibly they bought the buses from a company of a friend... Can you post here a picture of those buses?

    As you can see those buses are not looking that special at all, they're bigger than the old ones tho... but somehow they seem to have less seats, lol.

    I do not like to listen music while riding a car because it does not let me concentrate at my driving which can result in accidents. I have seen people who love listening music while driving and they do not lose their concentration too.

    I like to listen to music since it keeps me focused rather than drifting off, especially in long and boring rides, like well all around Los Angeles. On the open road where there is scenery, I think the music enhances the whole trip. As to those busses, I missed the beginning but those are pretty red Mercedes busses. Less seats but are they a little more posh than a typical bus?

    LOL! I wish they were heading to Caparica ;) They do, I really don't see why all the fuss about them, but they're actually bigger than the old ones. Oddly... they have fewer seats. So most of the time I see the around the city, there are a lot people standing up.

    So what's the point in bigger buses if there are fewer seats? If you ever come to Costa da Caparica you will not regret it, possibly my favorite beach in the world.

    I don’t hate driving while listening to music but I ensure the loudness of the music is kept as low as possible. To me music has no direct impact on my driving experience though I sometimes fear it may cause disturbance especially when I am on road traffic jam. Also it depends on the music am listening to and how much I adore it. Personally am a love music artiste and if it’s a matter of love songs to be sincere they can have great impact thus I don’t listen to love songs when driving.

    I always listen to music while driving. I'm good at being focus while driving on the road and I can eat meals behind the steering wheel without getting distracted, but the only thing I don't do is text.

    I don't really know, I guess our goverment was looking for a way to make even more $ by introducing a whole new transportation system that works totally different now... Weeee!! we are modern now, lol! Totally pointless if you ask me !

    I never roll out without my favourite tunes playing. I love, love, love music. It is like a safe haven to me when I'm driving and listening to my faves. I especially love to do it if I'm driving alone. It makes me feel a level of comfortableness that is really hard to explain. Listening to music is a must for me when I am driving.

    Good luck with it then :eek: Maybe if you ever use it someday as opposed to driving it won't be as bad?

    I don't really think so, they suck as means of transport, mostly because they're super big, but have very few seats, lol! So everytime we see one of them, is loaded with people... and a lot of them are standing up!

    I think you can hardly find anyone who does not wants to. For me, driving without car is a curse. I feel very bored without music in my car, to be cool I turn the volume high. I know it sounds kiddish but that's the way I am.

    I personally enjoy listening to music while driving especially if it suits my mood. I tend to enjoy listening to music when am going and coming from work. However it also depends on the reason why I listen to such music…I wont mind listening to love music if at all my girlfriend is sat next to me or else listening to a diplomatic music if my boss sits next to me. I am thus a yes person when it comes to listening to music when driving.

    All the time. Sunday cruises are the best. Bright, sunny day. Windows down, a new mix cd and driving on my favorite back roads.

    You must live in a very calm place :) My city is a mess right now, and I haven't heard/seen anyone listening to music while driving in the last 5 years. I guess the moral is down, lol.

    That's my kinda scene. Driving and just rocking to my tunes. It erases all the cares in the world, until I get out of the car again. Lol.
