I regularly travel on busy tram routes with a number of tram options. One thing I've learned is that 90% of people will always board the first tram, even when there are clearly one or two more coming directly after it. This leads to an overcrowded first tram and blissfully empty second and third trams. I consider it an important life lesson. It's generally best to wait for the second or even third tram. Thank you for listening.
Happy Friday ๐
second tram gang gang
I noticed this with buses, in situations where no bus comes for a suspiciously long while and then 2 arrive at the same time. Cruising in the near empty second bus ๐

I go for the second one as well, but I have had it be cancelled/diverted before, so do feel cautious about doing it.
