In some countries I've been to it's frowned upon to eat on public transport and sometimes you can even get fined. This might deter most citizens, except perhaps the hungriest, as I've known people on the Hong Kong metro system taking sneaky mouthfuls (me included!). In London there are no constraints and blatant munching on public transport is common.
The other morning on my tube to work, the carriage was filled with a greasy smell coming from a woman who was sat with her face in a foil package on her lap. At the intervals when she came up for air I could see that she was demolishing cold roast chicken, sucking and spitting out the bones.
Most of the commuters played the usual public transport ignore card, but it made for an alternative kind of Early Morning Breakfast Show.
