I usually start with a situational opener.
This week, I was in public transportation twice: "facebook closed" two HBs, one 9 and the other 8.
The first was watching Midnight in Paris on the train, while sitting next to me. So when the movie ended (it was a long train ride, I knew the movie would end much before we arrived), I asked her about it. We didn't stop talking until the destination, planed to meet up next week.
The second was on the bus when I walked in. There was plenty of room all around the bus, but opportunities don't just arrive, you have to create them. So I sat next to the cutest girl I saw. A Polish girl, very cute. Talked all the way until my stop, when I told her to look me up on facebook and add me. I'm glad I told her my name.
So yes, situational openers work best for me. Just be casual, make good eye contact and make sure you add a lot of kino quickly. That's still a point I have to work on, I take a long time before touching my target.
So how exactly did you open to the girl in the bus? And what openers do you usually use in bus situation?
