Some places have drawn more attention than others. Big cities like New York, London, Seattle, Los Angeles, all are popular with the magical. especially those that want to learn about or benefit from the mundane world.
Similarly, some wild places are very popular. The Amazon. The Rocky Mountains. The Pacific Northwest. There are greater concentrations of magical beasts there than elsewhere.
There's a Halfling sitting in one of the seats at the front of the bus. If they weren't at ninety degrees to you, you wouldn't even see them. Their legs don't reach the floor, their head doesn't come up to the back of the seat.
You think about talking to one of them about magic. The fact that you've started doing it and you don't know how, or why. But there are a lot of mundanes- 'normal' people on the bus and most of them are giving the orc dirty looks. You might end up hurt, or embarrassed.
There's an app a Dwarf you met hacked onto your phone. It lets you chat with some other people who know magic. You've sent a few messages to people but you really don't have your act together yet.
Out of the blue, a griffon flashes over the bus. It goes up, seemingly forever, then seems to land on the balcony of some high-rise office building. That might be an elf taking a meeting or some higher-up that's chartered a joy ride.
There's magic out there, but you still have exams due. Your chemistry teacher was really upset last week when a grad student came in and showed the class that you could transmute lead to gold. It ended up on the Internet and the class is being trolled all over America. It was the best thing you'd ever seen.
You get off the bus in front of the college. A dwarf goes screaming past you on some aerodynamically upgraded bike that goes about 70mph. There's a group of students on the lawn in front of the Administration Building. A tiefling is playing a ukelele and a few mundanes are sitting and listening. One of them is trying to get a selfie of herself with the tiefling but there's a lot of backlighting from her aura.

Los Angeles
You take the bus to work. Everyone in LA has a car, except you. As a college student, you just can't afford a car and rent. The bus is always full of magical people; most of them can't get a driver's license. Today there's an Orc dressed in a pretty traditional tribal getup. They might be attending a rally or protest; they may even be doing a television interview or acting in a movie as an extra. Orcs are always extras.There's a Halfling sitting in one of the seats at the front of the bus. If they weren't at ninety degrees to you, you wouldn't even see them.
