After watching some old episodes of "The Fugitive", I though about David Janssen's other character in "Harry O", who, because of a very faulty car transmission, often rode city buses to investigate clues in solving cases while working as a private investigator. He defended such activity as "giving him a chance to think; you should try it some time".
Was Harry ( which ran in the late 70s) a pioneer, or just someone who needed a cheap ride?
the only thing I could think about while riding the public bus was the headache, and bodyaches, it was giving me. I would compare the experience to being in a car that has no muffler...and no suspension...and no seat cushions...since the passenger seating of city buses tend to be hard plastic. which doesn't help dampen the awful noise and vibration produced by the big engine. which you feel every bit of through the seat of your pants with the bus vibrating, rattling & rolling like crazy. how can anyone think in such a racket?
Oh gosh, that brings back some childhood memories! Since nobody who was registered to vote rode LA buses in those days it was pioneering. Followed by the characters in "Three's Company" who rode LA buses all the time. They were replacing the old time riders like the detective in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," who rode the old red cars.
