About Bengaluru Bus Reads & etiquette
A first of its kind reading and public transport event in the city - welcome to Bengaluru Bus Reads. Here we hope to get more Bengalureans to use buses recreationally.
Etiquette:
-We have chosen Sunday as there will be less crowding on the bus. But there will be other passengers, please be mindful of their space and presence.
-This is a silent book reading, so bring a book, grab a seat and get comfy.
-Those who get motion sickness kindly take or bring the appropriate medication for it. I find that wearing headphones helps me take my mind off of it, especially when reading in a moving vehicle.
We want to keep the group small and intimate so further details will be shared to confirmed participants only, as this event is happening in a public bus, we want to be mindful and avoid becoming a large crowd.
We look forward to reading and riding with you on the bus this Sunday!
