For those of you not conversant with Philippine bus culture, if a seat-back jams on a crowded bus (still at the terminal) the conductor will coolly break off the offending back rest and manoeuvre it into the aisle (while instructing a random passenger to hold it for the next 2 hours).
Then direct a standing passenger to squish into the opened up seat (there’s room for four to sit there now).
Somehow if this happened in Australia I think there might have been more than laughter and then thanks to the conductor for ‘fixing’ their seat. How about your country?
