Question
In the morning I am in a hurry to work, and I have two options: either to pray the entire prayer sitting on the bus, or to pray with omissions standing at home?
Answer
Pray with omissions at home, provided you can pray calmly.
Source
Prayer while sitting is a prayer in a very extenuating circumstance. Its source is from the words of the Gemara, Tractate Berachot, page 30. The Tanaim taught: if one is riding on a donkey and the time for prayer arrives, if there is someone to hold his donkey, he should dismount and pray. If not, he should sit in his place and pray. Rabbi says: in any case, he should sit in his place and pray because his mind is not settled. Rava said, and some say it was Rabbi Yehoshua ben Levi: the law is according to Rabbi. Therefore, when it is difficult to delay one's journey, one prays while sitting.
However, it is explained further in the Gemara that when one prays while sitting, upon reaching home, one should pray standing (according to the majority of the early commentators). This is also ruled in the Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim, Siman 94: "One who was forced to pray sitting, when able, should pray again standing."
In practice, the Mishnah Berurah, there in s.k. 27, writes that one should not pray again since we are not so focused. Nevertheless, it is understood from this that prayer while sitting is indeed in extenuating circumstances.
