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?

Scottish buses of yesteryear...Oh the joys!
Way back when I got on one of those wee mini buses you get in Scotland, travelling a short distance up to my mates house.
My fellow passengers were three tramp-like characters, who were all indulging in alcoholic beverages whose strength was only matched by their cheapness.
Being a bit of a novice drinker at the time, my eyes widened in amazement when the oldest of the gents took out a can of Tennets' Super - like a lager, only much, much stronger - and proceeded to down the whole can in one.
Genuinely impressed, I would have doffed my cap to such a feat of drinking had I been wearing one.
In fact, I was just pondering how I culd never, ever have even taken a large swallow of Tennets' Super without retching when the old guy proceeded to projectile vomit the entire lot back up on to the floor...
Thankfully, My stop was next, and I managed to avoid the slowly spreading pool of regurgitated lager as I made my exit.
But as the bus drove off into the night, I could still see the trio - two of them blissfully swigging their White Lightning cider while the third emptied the contents of his stomach beside them.
Happy memories!
