Yes, I also know if your ill you shouldn't travel but at the end of the day, if you need to be somewhere that is too far to walk and can't drive they have no choice but to use the bus.
I know they can't help being ill, but they can make a judgement call on whether they're well enough to travel on public transport or not. If they know they're not well enough to travel (as they're likely to vomit on the bus), but still do travel, then it's unacceptable in my opinion. Is it acceptable to inconvenience everyone else on that trip (or the one after that's now been cancelled due to the bus being fouled) who also need to be somewhere?
Of course there's the other type of vomiting on the bus. Such as parents who let their kids jump all over the bus on a full stomach or full of sugar/sweets. The result is ultimately the same.
If you're that ill and you need to travel to a medical centre/hospital/etc, then call a paramedic. That's what it's there for. If someone is ill at work we do just that. We don't send them up to Dryburn on a bus.
