The main buses I take are 51c, 51b, 51d, and the worst 51g. The C is bad in the morning due to the punk kiddies going to school, most of them being really awake concidering I used to try to pass out on the bus before school, and the G is bad at night due to the overwhelming amount of people going to mt oliver at night from downtown and southside. Anyways southside has a nice mix of culture at night.

I'm 21 but don't have my license, so I do take the city bus quite often. I've only had a few mishaps, like the one time I was clearly standing at a bus stop but the bus blew right by me. Other than that, I think public transportation is okay. I'd prefer a car/my license, but I can't afford a car right now.

Oh my Liza Manelli yes!
I was on the bus to the mall (I have a love of Suncoast, what can I say) with a few of my friends and my favorite cousin and there was this lady on there, one of your tipical run-of-the-mill crazy ladies. She smelled like dirty crotch, i'll tell you what.
Anyways, she decided to try and start singing and tried to get all of us on the bus to sing along with her and solicited each one of us, standing up and pissing the driver off to the point of pulling over and escorting her off the public transit.
It was funny, but it cost me my love of the bus.
Haven't ridden it since.

The bus that I used to take while going to High School regularly had mentally disabled adults on it. They never seemed to get off the bus, and would oftentimes try to have a conversation with me. I wouldn't mind that, except for the fact that I am unable to understand them. They will typically talk loudly, and I become the center of attention as I frantically try to think of a polite way to say "what?" for the sixth time. I guess it's just me, since I am equally unable to understand young children as well.

Washington, D.C. has a very comprehensive public transporation system. I sold my car after I moved here, and I can truthfully say I don't miss it. I can take the subway train to most places. If I need a car, I'm a member of a car-sharing program.
I always wear headphones when I'm on the train, so I guess I've missed any "interesting" events that may have occurred. I did have a great time riding the train on Halloween. I never thought I'd be in a train with Aladdin, Julius Caesar, a French maid and a Viking. 
I love the contrast in the train atmosphere during commuting hours (quiet, reserved, everyone reading a book or newspaper) and during Friday and Saturday nights (louder and livelier... especially at 3:00 a.m. when everyone is half-deaf from the club music).

I love riding on trains... the summer before last I spent a week at my Cousin's house in Chicago and I got to ride the train home all the way to the other side of the state at night listening to music by myself

Where I live the subway/train system for local area is so screwed up that I could not use it to get anywhere. Anyways my ucle was a doosh and will not help my sorry hide any, so I am forced to fork out 75 bucks a month to ride the bus. However I now know alot of the drivers on the night shift, so it isnt as bad as it was at frist. All we do is talk alot about what I sell at work or some of the stuff I really have no clue why I know anything about it, but for some strange reason I do!?

If it wasn't for public transportation, how and where could I ever have lost my virginity (Well... Not as much lost as "Thrown right in the face of the first gothic girlie I ever saw...")
And, at least here in Denmark, the busses and trains arrives on time and they're fairly cheap...
Hip hip hurray for public transportation! *The cookie dans*

Earlier during the night, I took the bus home from Uni. During my bus ride, a childish male teenager (assuming he's 16-17) tried to have a crack on me, a stranger of a man has staring problems paid for my bus fare (I don't know why) and another strange who was intoxicated started talking to me.
The entertainment I sometimes get from bus rides.

Yes the entertaintment is one of the upparts of public transportation, once I saw this drunk dude puke on another drunk dude and then "drunk dude number 2" puked back on "drunk dude number 1", That didn't go well with number 1 so he punched number 2 in the face, and they where thrown of the bus by a rather angry bus driver.. .
I've never laughed so hard...

One time on a train, a man sitting directly opposite me, in which we were face-to-face, started talking to me about the Gunners, in which he attended the concert in Melbourne back in 1993 (I think). I was suprised that he didn't even know who Skid Row was considering he was majorly into the Gunners. The conversation actually started when the man said "you're into heavy metal, aren't you?". The only reason he would of known was the fact that I was wearing an original Gunners metal badge that (from my experience) is usually recognisable by people who grew up as Gunners fans during the 80s-early 90s. The badge is quite vague and those who don't know much or of Gunners wouldn't recognise the badge.
Sometimes, I wish that I was living in the 80s so that I could of experience that glam rock love years!
