When I took the bus, I was confused for a second. When you enter, you have to tap your pass on the card reader, and I forgot which section of the card reader to tap. It took me a few seconds to realize I was tapping on the wrong area and I looked like a newb. (To be fair, it’s designed poorly. I’ve watched many new people continually tap on the wrong part because the designers never heard of “affordances”.)
And then, I was about to sit down, and then stopped half way as I saw there was a sign on the seat. I think it said “For the infected?” Maybe I misread that. I scanned the area for a place to sit that didn’t have signs on them. It was all new to me!
