I'd hate to have to drive around in a major city. One of my favorite parts of doing day trips out to the city near me is that I can just take public transportation all day. No need to give a fuck about parking or driving through the horrendous traffic. I'd hate that place if my main means of getting around there was by driving.
our light rail has put mental health workers on the train to offer help to passengers who look like they need some guidance/support. I hopped on the train once & was happy to get the last open seat, only to realize that it was open because the guy in the next seat was wrapped head to toe in black trash bags and talking to himself. He kept to himself and gave me a thumbs up when he got off the train.
lol, me too. I was once on a subway train late at night with a business man who asked to borrow my lighter. He just lit up his crack pipe right there. It was a crazy thing to witness.
On the Montreal buses, its the guy with his music rapping along. I don't mind any of the others as long as they leave me alone, but the music on the phone guy drives me freaking nuts. Its always a male between the ages of 16-25, and every time I want to just tell them to use their headphones because ITS RUDE!
I lived in a tiny village near Aberdeen and use to commute there for work(same people every day usually). We eventually had to collectively complain to ban one lady who would invidually recite the rosary over us and try to cast devils out of us .Loudly. At 8am.
Oh! Long shot here: Did you ever meet Dennis the Menace? Lovely guy, spoke non-stop, always wore a Dennis the Menace necktie, had prison tats and always came out with the wildest tall tales. Listening to his stories was the best part of being on the bus.
When I was in high school, a girl I didn't know once sat next to me on the bus and started talking to me for no reason. I met her about 3 or 4 times since then until I finished high school and never saw her again.
Yep, that'll happen. There was a woman who claimed to be the daughter of JFK that I saw repeatedly over several years while riding the bus. Her stories as well as her features kinda made me believe she was telling the truth. So implausible Odd facts all the time, none of which you could really discount or tell that she was lying. She made quilts. There are wonderful and strange people all around you, for sure. All you have to do is listen. Thanks for sharing and have a great weekend!
That's just the normal crowd on the local buses where I live. On one of the lines, there was this whacky dude who'd make all kinds of silly faces at people to get them to laugh. That dude ruled.
It might also be to make veins harder to see so people "can't" shoot up on the bus. I know of some places that have blue lights in the bathrooms for that reason; it's not especially effective on the real junkies.

At least that gives them their own room. If there was no second floor they'd be with everyone else

Some of these could be mental illness related. If they are not harming anyone, we should be empathetic and not judging IMO.
Tyrann01
I have seen all of these people at the top of a bus at least once. Well...perhaps not the last one.
Zetor
it's the speakerphone guy, right?
SkinnerTBD
this is every bus, all the time. and I don't take the bus because every single one of them wants to be my new best friend. without fail.

When it becomes something you have to see every day when you’re just trying to get to work or make it home, it’s not very fun to deal with anymore.

Bus Wankers.
extraDimensionalAnxiety
Can some explain to this American how bad of a insult the word wanker is?
thedarkcanuck
It means masturbator, or refers to the act of masturbating
ForceKinTim
My local buses have blue interior lights. It's not for the ambiance
pashabigdog
held bus hostage for 45 min?

Wanking a bus sounds like a spectacle worth watching.

Yeah, but if someone shits themselves downstairs they get kicked off the bus

You can shit yourself upstairs and continue your trip? Sweet!

Blue light keeps you awake. Makes it harder for riders to fall asleep.
