Faremax: Travel Forums

I really think that people shouldn't be allowed to have chewing gum on the bus. Do you know that I have had so many incidents where I have messed up a nice pair of shoes because of someones laziness. I don't understand why people just can't throw thier gum outside and not onthe floor of the bus. It makes no sense to me.

Yeah I understand what you are saying but there is a reason people chew gum on buses. After you have traveled for many altitudes while you are riding on a bus your ears start to pop or clog kinda like when you swim and get water in them. The gum helps them to pop back so that you can hear better. I agree they should have a place to dispose of the gum.

I use chewing gum to stave off travel sickness.

Personally I think instead of banning chewing gum they should fine people who don't dispose of it in a careful manner. 

Well if that is the case then they need to learn how to discard it properly. I mean really. I get what is saying. I have touched many of pieces of gum that was put under my seat. NASTY!

I have to agree with the other posters.  If you need gum to stave off motion sickness that is fine, but there should be an effective way to get rid of gum and other garbage from snacking while on the bus.

It is however, hard to watch where you are stepping while on the bus becuase generally everyone is either in a hurry to get on and find a seat or get off the bus and head to their destination.
