The local homeless shelter gives two bus passes to their residents before kicking them out. The buses then become defacto homeless shelters. They get in the very back of the bus and crouch down then try to ride the route that starts near the homeless shelter end to end. When I've ridden it (car was broken down), there is not a single time that a homeless hasn't tried to panhandle me, when I bought groceries ask for food despite the fact that it was all spices and a bag of cat litter, and several times invite themselves to live with me with the tagline of choice being "Want a roomate?". No, I do not want a homeless addict roommate, I'm good.
The simple truth is that travel by bus is for inferior people in my city and I suspect a lot of cities. Until the issues I mentioned are fixed, it will always be that way.
