  For those who take mrt and buses and have to stand for the whole journey,most pple will feel their legs ache after a while. Pple will be standing straight with their knees locked. One way to reduce this problem is to actually bend your knees slightly a little. Not only does it take the strain off, you wont lose balance so easily when the bus is moving off or coming to a stop.
  
  Anybody experienced the above?

  See anyone sitting on the chair and you dun
  
  feel happy with him/her
  
  ask her/him to get lost from the seat
  
  then you just sit as long as you like

  Once during my NS days I boarded a train at Jurong East MRT. I cannot find a seat so I leaned against the panel near the train doors, lock both my knees, and fell asleep... and woke up at Pasir Ris station.
  
  When I tried to exit the train I find that I hardly walk. I have to sit on the floor and slowly inch myself out of the train, dragging my fullpack behind me. I have to sit on the platform for a full 5 minutes before circulation returns and I can trust my legs to walk again.
