Public Transport TraumaCompletely Underwhelmed writes, "I was on a bus the other day when a man got on wearing shorts, over what looked like greeny grey leggings. Then the stench hit me. The 'leggings' were a mass of open wounds, crusted with greenish solidified pus that flaked off in bits as he moved."
What's the worst public transport experience you've ever had?

they're bastard things to controlno brakes, you see. There's a single lever on the handlebars - push for forwards, pull for backwards. If you take your hands away from the lever, it goes to the neutral position and the scooter supposedly stops, but there's no means for hard/soft braking.
Oh, and the other 'safety feature' is that there's always a couple of seconds delay between holding/releasing the lever, and the scooter responding. The theory is that it stops the scooter jolting because someone's bumped the driver's elbow. The reality is that it makes precision manoeuvreing impossible.
