“Riding On The Bus’ is based on personal experience. Every woman I know has a story about being harassed, intimidated, inappropriately touched, or being made to feel uncomfortable on public transport. I remember being eighteen, and not even being able to wait at the bus stop near my house without it devolving into an absolute sh*tshow. The song is a warning. It’s also a shout out to anyone who’s ever experienced the same thing.” - Saucy Mama
