Never travel on public transport, it's just full of ill people, spent most of the day, riding a train and it was dirty,late,pain in the a$$, decided next time not to go


Speical brew and barley wine does your head in every time

But if public transport isn't used for traveling, what good is it?

Anyway, I'd like to hear all the details about the illnesses you caught from other riders. Don't spare any details.
