Public Transport ARGH

[netty]

I commute from doncaster to sheffield via bus and train every day and what the HELL is happening to the state of the tyransport these days. The buses are ok (ish) but the train..................it STINKS of piss, it was SO packed today someone actually fainted!

i just hate it and cant believe i fork out 96 a month to use it! its awful!

i could have cried this morning it was so packed, its not safe!

if there was anything wrong with the traion there is no safe way to easily get all the poeopl off!

does anyone travel in squalor each day?


Please make me feel better about travelling in the stench of other peoples urine, morning breath and various coughs and colds!

Also someone farted on my train this morning and i could have vommed! hold in in for gods sake!

ARGH i am so sick of it SO SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!

rant over!

i cant bear it anymore!

I am so glad after 10 years I no longer have to commute!!

My offie is a 40 minute walk away - bliss!

Although I did suffer the idignity of London Tubes for more years than I care to remember.

Public Transport is the main reason I hate people!

xxxxxxxxxxx

gah i couldnt deal with the london tubes! i went on one once when i was 18 and it was awful a man asked me for sex!!! OR my coat?

its just too much some days, i just dont get why there are NO limits to the amount of people you can cram into a train!

you cant do it on buses or cars so why trains!!!!!!!

 

[tweetyfoo]

Not anymore but I did put up with the London Tube for a year before I gave in and moved to Scotland!

My journey involved

Bus - Overground Train - Underground - Bus - 20 min Walk (which took about 90 mins all in)

Everything was like a cattle truck - this one time a woman actually threw her toddler onto the train which was full to the brim! Then she nearly didn't make it on and I was left holding this child

More often than not I'd end up with my face in some fat mans sweaty armpit!

Just to get bloody 6 miles!

On a Monday and Thursday I used to train (in taekwondo) in Wapping ... which was miles away and added another 2-3 hours of travelling on stinky trains to my day

The only thing I miss is that when I lived in London I weighed about 1.5stones less due to all the walking

I hated london commuting, i used to go in super early so that i'd have a seat and reasonable journey in, so not used to it now i can cycle in cardiff though!

Also someone farted on my train this morning

Why is it that when someone mentions farting it makes me giggle like a kid! I find it funny! Obviously not if it's done in MY vicinity that is. But when it happens to others I just find it so funny!

Even on telly I laugh at it but if my DS does it I find it gross!

Off topic there! Sorry! It sucks that you have to use transport like that. It's not too bad here but it's a far smaller city. It's usually farting in the elevator!

My parents live out in the sticks, there's one bus every hour and they stop at 10pm. So all I ever wanted was to be able to drive and have my own car, as soon as I turned 17 that's what I did. I've only used public transport a handful of times since then! The buses are so expensive and so infrequent, that it costs just the same to drive and then I can come and go as I please rather than have the buses dictate it to me.

My old work was a five minute walk from my flat... it was so lovely. Just over three years ago I started a new job that involved getting the bus into town each day. The journey into work was never that bad because it was quite early in the morning so it was quiet and the bus only took about 15 minutes at most. The journey home however was horrible, always full to bursting and could take up to an hour because of traffic Also, I seemed to always end up stuck next to somebody smelly

So glad I don't have to do it at the moment, but don't know how I'm going to cope when I go back to work and have to take LO to nursery - think I'm just going to have to get the bus really early in the morning and hope that my OH can come and collect us in the evening!

I despise public transport! Since passing my test I think I've used the met about 3 times max? And I haven't set foot on a bus.

and someone trumped again this morning on the train AND i had a heavy breather hanging over my shoulder like some massively deformed parrot! gah!

Lmao, before I went into freelance photography, I had to get 2 buses to my office - and I'm not joking, I literally hated EVERYONE on the buses.
My 'bus rants' became so famous among my facebook friends that they begged me to set up a blog, which I did.
But soon after setting up the blog, I went freelance and moved to the city centre, so now I very rarely travel by public transport.
But I feel ur pain...I really do!

Make it fun. The same people got on every day and I had names for them. It helped pass the time.
There was:
- Crazy bearded cat piss lady - says it all. This woman STANK of cat piss, and she had a beard and was a nut! I watched people squirm when she sat next to them and cover their noses. She went to sit next to me once so I got up and stood up instead - boke!
- 2 face lengths of head - this woman's hair line started halfway back on her head.
- Ass crack builder guy - speaks for itself.
- Punk rock mother - this real punky girl who brought her son to school on the bus every day.
- Angry guy - lol this guy got on the bus by himself every morning and sat and cursed to himself the whole journey. Every time the bus stopped to let people on, every time it stopped at lights, if someone coughed lmao, was amusing.

I really could go on about the other characters but I'd be here all day x

hahah ooo i have lots

invisable and unreasonably loud coughing guy - therer is NO NEED to be SO vocal when coughing, its like he is trying to get your attention! i hear him but i never see him?............

the makeup girl - she does her eyeliner on the train every day...........its looks a state i dont know why she doesnt just wait until she gets to work

crazy one-legged man - he insists you take your earphones out to tell you he has one leg? and he showed me his stump! WHY my oh just slinks off and pretends he doesnt know me
