Why do London commuters seem to have bad hygiene?

[KezHarris]

It’s like the women don’t wash and just slap tons of badly done make up on and their greasy hair makes me feel sick. They usually have awful attitudes too. The men have ill fitting suits and look like thugs.

Public transport is a load of crap. On the rare occasion I use it, I don't enjoy it.

I can tell you the same problem exists in the north. Most people don't seem to brush their teeth in a circular motion. Nor floss. It's gross. I'd say about 80% of peoples' breaths are bad.

Some vile creature was sat in front of me on the bus. He spent the half hour journey drawing up phlegm every 20 seconds. It was quite unlike anything I've witnessed before.

Come to NYC for subways to the financial district or Madison avenue or even the garment district and you'll see the same people who DGAF about their presentation. It's shocking actually.

Public transport has its disadvantages anywhere in the world.

A lot of people that ride public transportation have the same problem no matter what country we are in.

When we visited we saw a lot of lovely people, but we stayed in posh central London.

Some Windsor bus riders reek, but I guess B. O. is a London tradition with bad teeth and ugly faces. (Sorry, London lasses and lads!!!)

Most people who use public transportation are often poor. So not all of them can afford to keep up with their daily hygiene routine.

I use it out of convenience… driving to London would take 45 mins more because of traffic

Most is 50% + 1; so not everyone.

I've never been to London so I don't know
