Correct: I don't want to wait. We'll only be squeezed for one stop. Let's get on.
Squished usually means completely flattened, as in stepping on a bug. Squeezed means pushed together, usually uncomfortably when referring to people.

This can be easily if you know the difference between squished and squeezed :-
As a verb, "squeeze" means to press together. Ex: She squeezed the dishcloth to get water out of it.
The noun "squeeze" obviously means "to squeeze." Ex: A gentle squeeze on the doll's tummy makes is say "Mama."
"Squish," probably a derivation of "squash," has the connotation of being crushed flat. Ex: Tom squeezed the orange so hard he squished it.
"Squeeze" is probably used more often, but because the words have different meanings which word is used most is not very relevant.
