Do you use public transportation? If you do, what's the worst thing about it? I only use it to get to work and to pick my sister up from school (She doesn't have summer school).
The subway here in new york could be just a little cleaner...ok, a lot more cleaner! :(

As weird as this? :)
While riding the bus, have you ever seen an Asian guy looking at your sister with lust-filled eyes?

No, lol I rarely see asian's on the bus? What's with that?
the bus i use from time to time is mad ghetto.
When I ride our local train system, the third stop always has the most passengers going in, and even if the controller reminds them to "give way for exiting passengers", they never do, and just pour in like nobody's business.
Luckily, I get off at the station after it, so I don't have to deal with their crap. I pity those who do though.

That happens to me every time I go to Manhattan! :O I even missed my stop because I couldn't get off! >:(
The most annoying thing about it is the foreigners. No, really. One of my pet peeves is people having ridiculously loud conversations on the bus, and the people doing this always seem to be foreign.
People from outside of Britain seem to be unaware of two things:
1. It is not necessary to shout when talking to someone who is sitting next to you. lrn2 indoor voice. Even the chavviest of Brits are not this bad.
2. The fact that we can't understand you doesn't mean that we can't hear you. Don't assume that your unnecessarily loud conversation won't bother us because it's in Chinese or Arabic or Italian or whatever.
I can actually sympathise, to a certain extent, with the Japanese taboo against using mobile phones on public transport. That shit is annoying.

Agreed, there is no reason I (sitting in the front of the bus) should be able to hear EVERY word of your conversation and your sitting in the back!?
I rode buses and trains frequently when I lived in Chicago a few years ago. The most annoying thing about riding buses were the rude drivers. We had one stop the bus in the middle of rush hour traffic just to get a box of donuts which he proceeded to eat while driving.
The most annoying thing about riding the trains were all the slow zones on certain lines because the track was that badly deteriorated in those areas. Some of them smelled awful too, especially on the blue line. Our passenger rail systems here in the US are third world compared to those in Japan.
These are some of the many reasons Americans, myself included, love their cars.
never, in 3rd world country like Indonesia
you will never want to deal anything with their public transport...
get my own car, and drive by myself
Chicago has a clean and quick transportation system. One of the best. I still dislike waiting for the bus. Something about standing there just annoys me. i am to use to being in a car.

Yup. Too bad he's dead now. :(
I use it nearly every day. The most annoying thing is the garbage. Some people really are pigs, don't they understand how nasty some others think it is to sit on chewing gum?
Bydlo in this country tend to leave their garbage in the bus, that pisses me off.

You must be talking about the buses, which I agree with you on. But except for the newly rebuilt lines, the rail system is third world compared to those in other developed countries. They had to rebuild half the Blue Line and the entire State Street subway when I was living there due to shoddy work on the ties and track inspectors who didn't do their job.
Metra, on the other hand, is one of the finest commuter rail systems anywhere. But it's only good for going to and from Downtown.

Sorry that was me.
Here's a horrible thing to do. I once did this for my high school psychology class on the topic of natural observation. Hop on a bus, sit down across from someone (make sure they don't look threatening) and just stare at them through the entire ride. Don't start a conversation. Just stare.
I really like the bus. :P
Used to travel by bus a lot due to education...
Voted for "people" - equals smell and noise in my eyes...Especially if you're trapped between a bunch of fat people =___=
As a child I couldn't stand any public transportation and always felt sick but I grew out of it...However on crowded buses especially in summer - at least in heat - I still feel dizzy and often have to find a free spot to crouch a bit until I feel better...
Btw, I would've added "eyerape" to the voting list...
Don't tell me I'm the only one who eyperienced fashion disasters while using public transportation...Like the sight of a 2000 pound lolita in a desperate miniskirt and tightly fitting shirt...
Her fat circles around her waist like the rings of the Saturn...
Her sweat showing through the shirt building a Niagara from her armpit to her waist where the water collects between the fatty wrinkles...
I wish I could have voted for all.
Shoganai definitely has a point - in italy, outside a couple of places where silence still is golden, people will usually spend the whole time talking to the telephone. Indians do that too! They all talk loudly about whatever, and most of the times you get to hear unwanted details about their private life. They really have no shame whatsoever, nor any modesty. Japan, with the rule of not talking to the telephone while on a train, is the best place ever. That rule alone makes it the best place in the world to my eyes. I still remember vividly this woman who answers her phone, saying
"I can not talk right now, I'm on a train." And closes the conversation with no further wasted time. Awesome.
Also trains and metro and buses in italy often have broken air conditioning, broken doors, broken windows, broken seats, they are often late for apparently no reason at all, the low-priority trains often stop at a specific train station to let another train go on wasting 20+ minutes when they could do that stop in the following station which is even bigger, etc.
The noise is often unbearable, especially when the windows / doors are broken... or even absent.
And the smell... well, that comes with the people. Even though when you notice there's no fucking air whatsoever in the train because of how many people there are, why don't you just add a couple of carriages? You damn bastards.
