Do You Feel Any Discomfort While Travelling

Hi Sunny, So you have a problem as it relates to the size area of your country's leg room and the height of the bus. So maybe it's high time for you to start the campaign for a much nicer bus that takes into consideration it's leg room size and height. i understand that majority of the people in your country is not a big as you but who knows your government will listen and approved your recommendation for having such kind of a vehicle/public utility vehicle. There's no harm for trying. Start lobbying for it. Goodluck friend!

Hi tall guy :) That should motivate you to get a car of your own - fast! :) Seriously, I hate traveling in buses, flights, and even cars! I love traveling on two wheelers, and trains. :) I was told Chinese trains are much better and comfortable than ours. So hopefully, I will get to travel in them sometime. :)

I have the same problem as you. I'm 6' 4" and I always have to stoop when I'm on a bus and quite often have to sit sideways, taking up two seats because my legs won't fit in the space allowed. Some buses are better than others though. On flights I always try to get an isle seat so that I can stretch my legs into the isle and get out easily to have a walk about.

I guess that is one advantage of being short. I am petite so I can squeeze in pretty much anywhere. I can also squeeze through crowds of people easier than most people. Sometime though I am uncomfortable in a different way then you are beause sometimes when I am sitting in a higher seat my feet don't touch the ground or they touch the ground but do not lie flat which makes it kind of uncomfortable to sit there for a long time. I usually sit in with my legs all folded up so if the seat is wide enough I will have my legs all curled up on my chair If I can do that I am comfortable. If I can't then sometimes I am uncomfortable.

That must be so difficult for you! Actually, I wish I was that tall to tell you the truth! It's a shame that tall people are not catered for when it comes to travelling on public transport. I'm sure that you have an advantage though and that is, no one will try to mug you if you are towering above everyone else!. Do you notice people staring at you a lot because of your height? I wish that I was slightly taller than I am right now. Andrew

Well, I`m short and thin, so I can fit in all kind of seats. Sometimes the train seats are a little too high for me, but heels do their job very well making me not to feel unconfortable in those kind of situations. The thing that makes me feel uncomfortable for example, in bus or train trips are those people that need to use almost 2 seats for themselves, even if they don`t need them at all. Also, in long distance planes, I find plane seats very unconfortable to sleep, and I always end up with back or neck ache. When I travel, the process of going is my least favourite part, but it`s worth just for all the fun you will get in the place you go to.

travelling is not much of a problem for me as I have travelled in ech n every type of conveyance. i feel discomfort in local buses but i barely have to ride on those buses. distances are shorter out here in our city n v mostly travel by our own car. for going on longer routes, i usually take good buses, trains or planes.

hey,,, well, i don't think i faced with any discomforting situation while traveling as i'm very much in love with traveling from a place to another without taking a rest LOL

Oh no! I fear that my son will have this problem! He is only 2 now, but his "dad" (yes I use the term loosely) is 6'4 so I already know he will be tall. I know that they don't make things for tall people! It seems like as the economy gets worse, things get smaller! Smaller airplanes, cars, etc... I don't really have that problem because I'm only 5'2! But I can definitely sympathize! I bet you also have problems on roller coasters and buying clothes that are able to fit you!

yes sometimes i travel with there is no seat available so i stand up for couple of minutes it makes my legs cram oftentimes.another is when i felt to urinate and bus is traveling so i still wait for another terminal to drop by so that i can release.i also feel discomfort when someone smoking because i am asthmatic fumes and smokes is not good in me inhaling.another is the traffic i hate being clog up for many hours because of traffic.

Haha well i guess being tall has it cons also. I am 5'7" i can sit comfortably in a bus, but it's hard for us to walk inside our buses here, it is always full, SRO, and you have to walk through the door before your stop otherwise you will miss it. so much for comfort.

absolutely i do. i'm nauseated and big bus odor and smoke! sometimes in the middle of the road, i'm throwing my lungs out cause i really cant stand it's smoke even if it is with air con. plus, the feeling of like floating in the air keeps my head in the bad shape, thus, i felt dizziness. this keeps repeating especially if i'd travel to the provinces. its like you're travelling in a roller coaster, and it sucks!

in buses and metros in my country that is not a problem, me too i'm quite tall, for a woman at 6'1'' that is only a problem for me when i travel with friends in a very smal car, like the volkswagen beettle, i can not sit in the back, that is way to small, the mini cooper is also a problem for me, not a lot of head room, so thankfull some of my friends have bigger cars and a can be comfortable

yes but very often only,when i ride in a bus where the seat space is very small too,and when there are many passengers and you need to stand,you couldn't see any pole where you can hold,that is why i always ride in a bus when its big or having a wide space like chairs and in the middle.
