Gotta Love The People...
Anyone who's ever taken public tranist knows that it's capital punishment for not having your driver's license or not having parents willing to drive you wherever you need to go. Nine times out of ten you're stuck sitting next to some stranger with some kind of odour problem, cold which requires them to cough and sneeze all over you while sniffling annoyingly, or they decide to do things like pick their nose and scratch their ass because they think no one's watching. That's only scratching the surface of annoying things people do on the train. Here's a short list of some more:
-Talk loudly on cell phones because they think the entire bus, train or other should hear what they have to say
-Stick their greasy heads on the window and leave grease marks on it so you can't see out of it later
-Push the help button because they want the train to go "faster"
-Talk loudly about all the guys and girls they've had sex with in their lives in detail
-Are drunk and try to touch your hair
-Hit on you (if you're a girl) and stare at your ass
And if that isn't pleasant enough, there's always the fact that no matter where you're going, by the time you wait for the bus, catch it, go to the train and take it to another station, and walk to wherever you need to go, you've just spent about 3 times as much time to get there compared to if you'd driven. Then, there's always the small problem of after you get OFF to try and walk to your next destination, you're confronted by a swarm of homeless people bumming for money at the station. And of course, if you don't give them any, they get pissed off and swear at you followed by a high-speed chase out of the station. Plus, if anybody's noticed, the bus stations etc are FILTHY. Some smell so badly of urine you practically get knocked out by the smell. Others, you have to watch where you walk because entire puddles are made by little clumps of spit coming together. Ultimately, the buses are completely unreliable, especially if you're catching them at night. Who knows, if you JUST miss the bus you need to take, you'll be waiting for at least another hour for it. So just a warning to all those who like me will eventually have to take this disgusting, time wasting, sad excuse for transportation often to school or work etc. Be prepared to excersize a lot of patience and self control, because with public transit, it's not just a journey... it's a game of survival.
