Chicago Commute: Not Fresh

I really don't think it if an outrageous expectation on my part that commuters should bathe. Busses are pretty packed during rush hour, and some of my fellow riders are a bit ripe. Unfortunately, this is only going to get worse as it starts to warm up outside. I don't expect that everyone is going to smell like roses at the end of the work day, but something is seriously wrong if someone smells like a barnyard.

Bus-trated

During rush hour, tons of weary commuters take the bus home. It is a bit of a crap shoot whether or not you'll get a seat. I get that, but some people take way more than their share of space. Today, a parent with one of those SUV strollers parked themselves in the wheelchair space, taking three seats out of commission. Further back, a overweight woman is taking up two seats...not even making an effort to squeeze over to the side to allow someone to perch on half a seat. It is harder to accept standing for the commute when your fellow passengers are so inconsiderate.
