Question for Bus Commuters of Ontario (self.ontario)

When standing, do you generally hold onto the bars or the loop handles attached to the bars? What did you do this morning if you were on one?

I left Toronto some months ago, maybe I have rose-tinted glasses but I find the TTC and other buses there were way smoother of a ride than in Vancouver. I'm seeing if it has any influence on the amount of people using bars/loops via informal poll. Let me know your thoughts.

E: Sounds like bars are the popular option here too, for many reasons. Hygiene was a big one I hadn't initially considered. Thanks for answering everyone!

Thanks for the detailed response! Yeah, it's mainly about whether in bus rides in Ontario which I found were less jolty, more people would want to use the handles.

I've received a number of other reasons for preference, which I find quite neat.
