I mean honestly, couldn't we just fit mass transit to spray/ooze/mist some anti-bacterial disinfectant from time to time? Or maybe have hand-sanitizer dispensers on board. Or cover all the seats, poles, hooks, rings, steps with an anti- microbial finish.
Because I would prefer to "urban surf" and
risk flying through a windshield than actually touch anything on the bus/train/subway. Improves my reflexes too...
Sprays may not be the most effective, especially if you happen to be giving a close visual inspection to one of the little holes. Ceiling misters could occasionally deploy an aromatic scented disinfectant.
If you carry on your own spray bottle/face mask/gloves, you look like a pooter. Or worse, a terrorist.

My kids were out in the dirt at 6 months old. They're now in their late teens & early twenties, virtually never had a day off school and shake off each virus that comes around in a day or two. |

Mind you, I'm all for early exposure and all that. My daughters have both had chicken poo in their mouth by 1 year old. It's just that I don't trust certain people on my bus to be free from nasty things such as the plague, leprosy, or consumerism. For these, a little help would be appreciated. |

[Zeno], would that be the Great Plains, or the one in Spain with all the rain? |
