    Undesirables on bus

    I have no choice but to get a bus on my current contract.

    Last night it was a large fat bloke dressed in a tramp-like style, stinking the bus out with a perfume of beer, farts and garbage.

    This morning the bus was packed full of school kids for some reason. No seats left for anyone else on the 30 minute journey.

    Tonight it was a drunk 40-something woman, stinking of booze and fags. Sits next to me and pulls out a can of Special Brew. Then starts a mobile phone conversation with somebody saying she's on the way and asking if they have the 'syringes'

    I braved the rest of the journey home (just), whilst another bloke bolted and got off the bus several stops early.

    Anyone else have to put up with this rubbish?

    Our apologies for sasguru - as he has been banned he has nothing to do but roam the streets.

    Have you considered cycling?

      No, we drive our own buses.

          Is this the no. 40 from Clydebank to Easterhouse via Drumchapel?

            a bus is a subsystem that transfers data between components inside a computer, or between computers.

                Sounded like he'd improved.
