Getting a seat in the centre of the bus, where disruption from irregular roads is least, is step one if you're using a laptop or reading fine-print. Seeing your optometrist is another.

I agree if your roads are shitty this is a problem, but hell, where do you live? Afghanistan? Chances are you live in the US - the richest country in the world. If your local (or federal) government isn't properly maintaining your roads (and buses), then they're doing something wrong, and you should tell them so. Make them fix it. They can afford it. You vote, don't you?
