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!

Yhea I'm usually pretty cautious but it happens. The worst was being stuck standing on a GO bus. It was a double decker and I was standing on the lower level (damn route is always overfilled) it became a 3.5 hour trip due to bad traffic.

The height of those buses is like 6inches too short for me to stand comfortably so I have to hunch over the people infront of me. Every bump my spine whould hit the ceiling. Felt that one for weeks after.
