Bus maverick

Are you immune to gravity when on a bus?

I know I'm not the only one who does this because I've seen others of my kind in the wild. Daredevils, loose cannons, renegades: bus surfers.

You see the railings on a bus aren't necessary, those of us skilled in the art of balance can use the momentum of a stopping bus to propel us forward just the right amount.

What is just the right amount? Fast enough so you don't get stuck in the aisle but not so fast you go hurtling into the old lady in front of you.

You are a bus maverick if you:
1) Stand up before the bus has come to a stop or even started to slow down
2) Do NOT hold on to any railings whatsoever
3) Manage to thank the driver despite moving at breakneck speed

There is a maverick greater than I and that is the upstairs maverick. Balance enters a whole new scary world on the upstairs of a bus.

So do you do this?

(NOTE: I do not advocate bus surfing if you've not done it before. Despite what you've just read it's immensely stupid and I only do it out of habit. Also I should add literally no one is impressed by this and an elderly gentleman once tutted at me for doing it)
