What is bus hacking?

Bus Hacking(v): The act of designing and/or developing on a bus typically during a commute.

I coin the term thusly, since I catch a bus into the city. I am more than happy to allow the term to refer to trains, ferries, trams and other forms of transport whereby there is sufficient time to put something together between what is called the start and end of the journey.

A bus hack does not necessarily require a laptop or digital input device - bus hacking on a notepad is acceptable.
