To put it bluntly, this can be a hellish and unnerving experience for anyone who isn’t accustomed to living on the streets. This was one of the first places where I regularly slept when I became homeless because I simply didn’t know where else to go or what to do when it was cold outside. But this is a common experience for many homeless people in urban areas throughout the world. Since those first experiences on the Hotel 22 bus, I’ve been homeless in other cities and have had to repeat this method of attempting to sleep on public buses when necessary.
