There was a woman who would beg for money on the last stretch of my commute home. Either she was on the bus or she must have been coming back from the other end of the line.

Every now and then she would start shrieking. Once she started she just... Didn't stop. She would walk the length of the bus shrieking directly in people's faces. This happened about a dozen times before I just started getting off the bus if I saw her. I would rather walk 30 minutes then have to put up with her.

I'm my country the transit system won't ban anyone because it is considered excessive punishment for the extremely poor.

As a result, transit just sucks for everyone.

Behavior that is anti-social should be unacceptable. We're so afraid of placing limits on anyone that the most unstable/unwell place limits on the rest of us.

In the case of the woman I mentioned, she's also a victim. There's no proper support for her. She needs help too.

That's illegal in Denmark, i have seen people do this kind of things sometimes and everytime they are kicked off the transport at next stop. And then they jump on at the next transport and kicked off again, this behavior have forced the public transport in the big cities to have guards on board the trains all the times.

It's not fair to her, banshees should also be able to take the bus.
