Today’s Ask PHlemmy: Before smartphones, how did you spend your time in public transportation?
Listening to music. Either through my USB music player, or through a dumbphone.
Before that, singing to myself, or sleeping.
I rarely pull out my smartphone in public transport, I usually just wait it out and pay attention to my surroundings. The only time I do is when 1) I’m sitting down in the LRT and, 2) have to set up Moovit to vibrate when I’m near my stop. It then goes back to my bag for the duration of the trip and zippers are sealed with an s-biner.

Trying to find a view where you would not make eye contact while riding a jeepney.
Mostly listening to music on my dumb phone or playing games on it.
Book, iPod/mp3 player, composing ringtones, reading books on text graphics to send to crush kek, yoyo (except jeeps), stare out into the distance.
I think I could only have an album or two worth of songs on the phone. That usually meant looping back to the first song on the list by the time I’m near the end of my nearly two hour commute.
I also preferred to rip my own CDs at 128kbps bit rate and could only afford to store them on a 256MB or 512MB Sony memory stick; hence the limited playlist.
Listen to the radio. Magpigil ng tawa kapag top 10 na ng TMR sa umaga.
Listening to music on my PSP or NDS.
Sleep, listen to the radio. Back in highschool yung driver ng service namin nakikinig lagi sa radio show ni mo twister dati. one of the top songs sa radio during that time was Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol ahhhhh. careless days.
Listen to music on my mp3 player.
Siguro kung bumalik ako sa panahon na iyon, magbasa ng libro.
Listening to music on my portable music player of choice (Walkman way back then, and then MP3 player).
Without music? Just staring out the window, or people watching. I sometimes guess where people are up to after they’ve gotten off. On the train, I sometimes try to guess someone’s station.
I sometimes read my school readings, but I tend to have really terrible headaches when I do this, so I just do this when I really have to.
I mostly sleep.
