No one imagines homeless and drug addicts riding their transportation.
- jjulius 4y ago>No one imagines homeless and drug addicts riding their transportation. That's a pretty strong absolute; I'm certain that, at the very least, folk involved with public transportation do regularly consider homeless and/or addicts when covering various aspects of their service. Maybe not so much in the past, but these days it's basically a given.
- asiachick 4y agoI'm not so sure. Bay area is the only transit systems I've been on that seems to commonly have homeless and drug addicts. I've used transit systems all over the world. The rest don't seem to have that issue. Maybe it's because of better social services or maybe it's because so many normies use those other systems that it doesn't become a place for homeless and drug addict to hang out.
- ghostly_s 4y agoYou haven't traveled much, then.
- bowsamic 4y agoThe London Underground circle line is famous for being a resting place for homeless people
- avianlyric 4y agoWas famous. Not so much anymore. It’s not being an actual circle line means it’s not as attractive to homeless people. You can’t just fall asleep and just ride in circles, you get up periodically and change trains now.

- Symbiote 4y agoIt's not common in London, at least since the 2000s. Homeless people are more likely to be on buses (it's cheaper) but even that isn't common.

- bobthepanda 4y agoI mean, you don’t need the homeless and drug addicts to make wool and carpet nasty, you just need people to be outside before they come and use public transit. Sweat, rain, dirt etc. are all going to come into the train.
- diebeforei485 4y agoIt's not that someone has a drug problem or is homeless, but that they act with disregard for others.
