well there was a lady who was asking for money, so everyone ignored here. Then everyone on the train notice she was blind and like 4 people helped her.
Every now and then I see a group of homeless on the subway saying that we have the give them money everytime they sing.
I saw alot of bums when riding on an LA Metro bus. Some of them are Vietnam War vets.
There was almost a fight between two bums on the bus I took today :lol:
In HK, we never have these kinds of problems. Unless you run into the HK BUS UNCLE :D

'Bus Uncle' is not crazy. He just had an overreaction.

I still find it crazy. I wouldn't behave like that on public transportation.
Here in Los Angeles:

I don't think an incident like that is representative of the total population. Besides, this video has been edited left, right, and centre by others to exploit the publicity. It's just another overhyped media frenzy. I believe there was an RTHK documentary on the psychology behind this incident and why the media started feeding on it.

Looney woman on bus

I once took a bus to a Sydney beachside suburb. The trip home was rather interesting. Unlike other beachside suburbs that are home to the more wealthier. Most of the passengers seemed to be a bunch of alchoholic middle aged adults obviously living on pensions. This woman boarded the bus and sat right in front of me and I knew she was going to be basket case the way she stared at me as she sat down. She started yelling out obsanities and pointing me out to other passengers on the bus. For some reason she described me as being Greek in some nasty way, which I am not. Her attention then turned to a guy sitting on the other side of the bus. The crazy woman got off after a few stops and everybody who was sane enough sat with gob smacked looks on their faces.

Westender.

SF transit is not only filled with crazy people, but smells I never knew existed befor moving here. That, and fecal or bile icing on seats and handrails you got to look out for.

..Maybe its got something to do with the high pop of bums ;)
people screaming and shouting on buses? happens all the time. bus stations are the best places for witnessing complete nutters going mental at high volume.
Eh, we've had passengers kill other passengers and a few bus drivers have been attacked - some of them seriously wounded.

Two biggest profile cases in this city involved four youths flipping out on a 35 year old oil rigger and killing him right on the bus. Another one someone totally goes spastic on someone in the morning commute and knifes him right when they leave the bus.

we have some crazy people. There is one notorious lady who rides on Trolleybuses and threatens to kill everyone :D Time and time again....
I think that Bus Uncle video was semi-fabricated...I don't read Chinese characters well and I can't speak Cantonese, but I would bet that either we're not getting the whole story or some major editing was done to the video. Maybe both.

And that crazy advocate of Jesus on the LA train was hilarious. I loved when she started clapping. Kind of disturbing though:lol:

In downtown Vancouver in the entrance to Waterfront station I remeber this cracked out lady who was greeting cruise ship passengers by screaming at the top of her lungs while simultaneously doing what looked like lord of the dance on meth.

There was this war veteran from Atjeh, Indonesia on my bus many times. He would get on the bus at 'Bronbeek' and when seeing a bush or hedge or whatever, he would shout 'There's one!!' and would perform some military exercise.

el oh el...i was just overexagerating...only see fecal matter a few times, not every day, haha.

Anyways, mass transit is always the best way to see the city and its people; so I advise you to use metro in SF when visiting, or any city for that matter :)
