Bus Stats
In this life we face many challenges. One of those challenges, which I'm sure each of us has faced all too many times, is the excruciating experience of sitting on a transit bus without knowing the correlation between the style of the seats and the number of the bus. The terrible agony of being seated in a row of your peers, each of you wallowing in ignorance of the true meaning behind the mysterious pattern on the throne below you. And the number at the front of the bus... how could it tie in to the whole picture? Most of us will never know. It is truly one of the more horrifying aspects of modern life, yet most of us suffer in silence.
People of the Lorums, your plight ends today. I have come to share with you the answer to all of your prayers: the Bus Stats spreadsheet.
For the past several years I have been painstakingly collecting the data that would solve society's most troubling riddle: what does the style of the bus seat have to do with the bus number? The answer is simple and elegant, yet nuanced, and you will find it below in striking clarity.
You will additionally find several scholarly notes which I compiled during my studies. These notes are the final strokes upon the canvas, capturing the stunning details of one of the most important academic endeavors of our time.
All I can say is: you're welcome.
