BBC said:

In Newcastle and Liverpool... 53% of men ...

Have these people never heard of soap?

BBC said:

People who had used the bus had higher rates of hand contamination than those who had used the train.

Somehow, that does not surprise me.
For me, that's another reason not to use pubic transport. At least I know who's been touching my car's steering wheel.

Public transport is rubbish, what's new?

And of course London and other areas of the South are so clean!!!

I am sick of the press just picking Northern towns/cities for these reports, I am sure it is the same story in most big towns and cities whether they be in the North or the South!!

Rant over!

Thing is I bet the blokes with Sh***y hands don't get ill as often as the clean pressed individuals with manicures.

Not condoning it it's revolting, but we are too clean.

And the answer is simple, ban buses they are clearly unsanitary

Not conclusive as there were only 409 people swabbed.
And out of the five major cities, 2 of these were up north, one down south, one central and one in Wales
