All though its standing room only on this crowded Santa Monica Big Blue bus, this seat remained empty in honor of Rosa Parks and the anniversary of the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycott that sparked the civil rights movement.  A black ribbon was draped across the seat, along with a commemorative marker reserving this seat in Parks memory on Thursday December 1, 2005.
