My pet peeve as far as buses go is the lack of elbow and leg room: and I'm
just a guy of average build!  The last time I travelled by bus - from NYC to
Binghamton, NY, by Greyhound, the day after New Year's - I spent four hours
struggling to keep my elbows out of my neighbour's ribs.  During the first
half-hour my legs gradually went numb from lack of circulation (squirming
notwithstanding), so they didn't bother me the rest of the trip (getting off
the bus was a lot of fun, too - but that's another story!).  

Of course, it's a seller's market, so it's unlikely there'll be any
substantial improvements in bus seating in the foreseeable future.
