Given that the exact same question is the current top post but for driving instead of transit, I feel this question was needed.

My answer: I saw some guys hooking up a Raclette Grill to the outlet in an otherwise empty German intercity rail waggon. They had it unpacked in one of these 4 person seats with a small table. No idea if that could work or if draws too much power from the board net. I just headed on to the next waggon.

There's probably a lot of crazy stuff happen in Vancouver buses. Vancouver is transit centric, so from the mid-upper class to the poor and mentally ill uses the transit
The last one that I remember was early this year. I was riding the community bus (a 24 passenger, single exit bus, ) and one of the passenger looked like he hasn't showered or changed clothes in days.
The bus bumped into something and the drive stopped and told everyone he had to stop and wait for the transit supervisor.
The guy then started screaming "WHY" several times to the driver and tried to pee on the driver. Luckily there's a plastic barrier (from Covid days) so the driver's safe. After that he probably realized he did something bad and walked out of the bus

That's how it is here in Seattle, too. Poor people ride the light rail, well-off people ride the light rail. If the service is good, everybody will use it.

Buses have not quite met that standard yet.
