Israel's intercity buses are starting to cause me pain. That's because they have the bell, which announces to the driver that he must stop at the next stop, on the ceiling.
I'm short and I have short arms. There's no way I can reach it while sitting. And even if I stand up, I end up pulling my arm and re-injuring my shoulder.
So, I pray that someone else, who is getting off at the same stop will ring it. Or I ask another passenger to ring the bell. And if there's no one available, I try to get the driver's attention to inform him that I need to get off the bus at the upcoming stop.
I may be wrong, but it seems like the bus designers are all taller than me with longer arms. And they don't travel on buses.
Do you have this problem or anything similar?
