I'm really tired of commuting.

More so, of attempting to carry four different types of boxes with nothing but these horrible bus handles to hold on to:

Not only do these grips slide all over the place and twist over your wrist; they're placed inconveniently high for your average 5'4" individual (a.k.a, myself.)

My usual scenario: one hand on this shaky grip, tool bag placed between my feet, jacket slung over my shoulder, back pack on and an extra purse/bag of supplies on the opposing arm.
Sometimes there's a phone stuck in the palm of my hand.


...Needless to say, I drop stuff often and maintain an unwanted set of biceps.

Honestly, if these grips insist on swinging all over the place, they should at least hang low enough for my arms to stop crying.

The sitting situations aren't much better either

This is just me sitting next to one of the arm rests.
I'm used to being shoved up against people through these railings or awkwardly trying to move my arms around, since these railings are just too short to be armrests and too tall to stay out of the way.

I don't understand why they exist, because they definitely don't separate people from each other.
In fact, I have an easier time avoiding contact with people when we don't have this divider.

What would be nice, is a curve running from the top bar to this photographed bar.
Like so:

That way, there's a secure metal bar to grab on to, preferably one that doesn't require dislocating my arm.
Also, replacing the swishing bands with grip coated hooks would be a better call, that way the crazy bus drivers of San Francisco can make their outrageously sharp turns without fear of a domino effect in their bus.
