I’ve been trying to commute by train in the Bay Area and I’m probably going to give up based on this.

The VTA train smells of pot and the CalTrain often smells of sewage. Periodically there are crazy people yelling on the VTA and regularly there are people having could-have-been-an-email loud conferences calls on CalTrain.

I really like trains and dislike car dependent cities. But it’s hard for me to walk-the-talk when it’s so unpleasant so consistently.

I used to take Caltrain fairly regularly and never once smelled sewage. The drunken baseball fans were a problem though.

Sewage is a bit strong of a word for it, but sometimes the cars with a bathroom smell a bit ripe.
