And people wonder why a lot of folks are uncomfortable on public transportation.
I was excited to ride on public transportation for the first time and immediately people were doing drugs right next to me and babbling incoherently. Yep, no, I’m good.
I took the tram to go to school for 10 years and have maybe a handful of weird incidents to show for it. This is an issue with the culture surrounding public transit. If it gets seen as the mode of transportation which only gets used by those icky poor people and weirdoes it is no wonder that the weirdoes are overrepresented, especially in the US where the only place with a tram system of note is NYC which already has a high amount of weird people living in it, even if only due to the huge number of people living there to begin with.

The nice thing about being blind is that I don’t see any of that and can just pretend it isn’t happening. The smells are unavoidable though.
