There was a crazy preacher guy on my train today. I think he was one of those crazy black Christians that want to exterminate white people? He was randomly shouting at every white person in the train, and then he started shouting at me, I have no idea what he was talking about, the only bit that I understood was "sex toys"? He was coming closer and closer to me and shouting at me randomly, but the train stopped at a station, and some like 70 year old man tried to get off, but the preacher was blocking the way (he was facing towards me and the older man was behind him asking him to let him pass). The man behind the preacher was constantly touching him and asking him to let him pass, and then the preacher just randomly shouted "THE MAN BEHIND ME SHOULD STOP TOUCHING ME" or something like that, and then he just flipped out, turned around, and pushed / threw the older man onto the floor, shouted, and angrily walked out of the train. D: The older man was okay but I didn't really want to say anything to the preacher, cause he had so much golden christian bling all across him, I wouldn't be surprised if he had a gun in there as well.

Luckely not all christians are like that, yet.
People who talk to you as if they had known you for decades, people who randomly bursts into song, people who run around on the bus and swing around the poles as if they were Tarzan, crazy people with sticks, crazy people with knifes, you name it. No crazy people with guns so far tho. Lucky me.
And when they shut the place down it was as if they let everyone out, because for a while there were crazy people running around all over the block.
It's a bit calmer now tho, 2 years later.
Also, I had a scarry encounter with a mental ill women once. She wasn't really scarry, but it was late and I was alone in a train station waiting for the train when she came at me and starting to be sad( I expected her to cry). She called me names and was desperately trying to make me remember her, and she wanted to kiss me. I was at the point of freaking out when she told me that, and when she approached me I had to push her off, in the same time feeling the smell of a 1 year old sandwich coming from her breath.
I don't know man, I felt compassion(she must have lost her son or something) but disgust in the same time.
I also visited a hospital with crazy people several times. It's like prison, with cigarettes and coffee being the main activity of those people, only it's worse. Strange smells and sad faces watching you.
In all seriousness though, mental health issues are deeply troubling and very sad to hear about.
It wouldn't really be a stereotype to categorize 50% of bus riders as smelly, awkward, obnoxious, or generally weird people. I guess they're mostly old too, so that's something.
On my trip to Germany and France, everybody on the trains was really average, probably because there it's a normal mode of transportation. Here, you definitely get your fare share of people you don't want to end up sitting next to.
Basically, public transportation sucks. When I go somewhere, I don't want to have to wonder what kind of drugs are running through the bloodstream of the guy sitting next to me.
I would have reacted when the man pushed the older man.
