I wish we had public transportation! There has been talking of a rail line coming our way for years, running north to south and connecting two larger cities in our state. Unfortunately, no one wants to agree to the temporary tax increase that would make it happen.

Hi I'm with you all on both counts, snacking is out and I wish we had public transportation. The railway pulled out decades ago and the long haul buses went away a number of years ago. We have an airport (shared runway with the military), but no plane service. If you don't drive a car....you better have a horse

That's how it is here, too! The crazy thing is that we have a train station right here in town and a passenger line used to run through everyday. I think it was sometime in the 60's or 70's that the line quit running though, and ever since we've been dependent on cars, or bikes if you're willing to risk sharing the road with crazy drivers. (We don't even have bike paths here.)
I remember when I worked three jobs. I used to have to eat and sleep on public transport. I didn't like it any more than my fellow passengers did, but I really didn't have a choice in the matter.
I don't have a problem with people eating on public transport, especially if it is through necessity, as in Danny's case. I think you have to use some common sense when you decide what to eat though. There are plenty of things around that don't leave smells behind.
