Why listening to the bus chatter beats my playlist
I know everyone loves to put on headphones and zone out during their commute. But I decided to stop doing that last month. Now I pay attention to the conversations and sounds around me on the bus. It has helped me notice small things, like the driver's daily greetings. I even started talking to a fellow commuter about the weather. This has my rides feeling shorter and more connected. So I disagree with the idea that you need music or podcasts to enjoy the trip.
