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?Buses are for everyone to travel on regardless of whether they are well or not. Can you imagine the outcry if we started refusing customers because they looked unwell and may be sick while on the bus.
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.
