Topic: Buses are bosons, and they condensate

I did my graduate work at the University of Chicago, and lived in Hyde Park. On occasion I would take the bus (the #6 Jeffery Express) to downtown. Although the buses were scheduled to run every 15 minutes, I would invariably end up waiting a half hour. Sometimes more. Often in the freezing cold, or the sweltering heat. Most infuriatingly, when the bus finally arrived, there was always another one immediately behind it! The buses inevitably came in pairs. Sometimes even in triples or quads.

That got my interest for a minute, then I realised it wasn't bosoms.

   A wonderful explanation Sam.  I have often wondered about it myself!

It makes sense to me.
