Bus blindness

When you get on a bus, not expecting to see anyone you know and then becoming temporarily face-blind whilst looking for a seat, resulting in you missing them completely.

Guy 1: Ash just got on and didn't see us back here. Why is she sitting by herself?

Guy 2: I know. I swear she looked right at us, she just got total bus blindness.

bus blind

The condition of not seeing public transit, specifically the bus, as a viable option for commuting to and from or around a city or metropolitan area.

All of the local media outlets covered parking & driving directions to reach the downtown jazz festival but not one mention of transit because they are bus blind.
