I just presumed that kids would walk to school as in such a densely populated city you can't be very far from a school or get a regular bus. Especially surprised that they would use them for private schools. Also I've been to NYC many times and never seen one. Although I have never looked out for them!

 

They definitely have them, though these buses could be from elsewhere, as school will be out.

 

You raise good points, and I believe you’re also correct re private schools - yellow buses are strictly public school ones whereas private schools have smaller, mostly non-yellow ones that are rented or operated through private transportation companies. In my neighbourhood at least (UWS) the school buses kids look to be aged 10 and under.

Now back on topic..

 

any idea why Iranians arent buying up tickets to games in LA? There's a massive population

 

Are we sure they are playing?

 

Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. US Soccer offering new enhanced hospitality packages..... it never ends.

 

Wow, $5,000 for no match tickets, where do I sign up.

 

Don't forget about the curated events... ha

 

These people could make going to the toilet sound like a once in a lifetime experience not to be missed.Particularly liked the one down as the 'Match Window Access Program'. You mean you can even see the match itself, all be it through a window?

 

Iran seems to think they are

 

France 2026:

Mike Maignan, Robin Risser Birckel, Brice Samba, Lucas Digne, Malo Gusto, Lucas Hernandez, Theo Hernandez, Ibrahima Konaté, Jules Koundé, Maxence Lacroix, William Saliba, Dayot Upamecano, N’Golo Kanté, Manu Koné, Adrien Rabiot, Aurelien Tchouaméni, Warren Zaire-Emery, Maghnes Akliouche, Bradley Barcola, Rayan Cherki, Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué, Jean-Philippe Mateta, Kylian Mbappé, Michael Olise, Marcus Thuram

Will they implode or be like Brazil 02... 3 finals in a row.

Maybe Spain will implode again

 

Outside of the Barcelona based 2010 team… they always do. Eliminated by Chile in 2014, Russia in 2018, Morocco 2022.

 

That is the great thing about the USA though. We have a lot of free public toilets. Especially when compared to Europe.

U-S-A!

 

Lot of free public toilets in the USA?? Have yet to see them "many". Only one I can think of is the public toilets in Bryant Park in NYC.

 

Restaurants and gas stations across the thousands of cities in the USA have toilets. Europe has very few in comparison. It is not even close.

 

And hotel lobbies. Just walk into any lobby and act like you belong.

 

Yes indeed.

 

Didn't Seinfeld have a skit about George knowing the directions to all 500 public toilets in Manhattan?

 

I'd argue restaurant and hotel lobbies are not really "public" toilets (specially the former - lots of restaurants with signs about bathrooms being only for customers)

 

This is true. Especially in inner cities where they are more strict. But it is easier to get away with it in the USA with more options.

 

They public toilets for older , dare I say it?, white people. Not public for everyone?
