Half a stone a year, allegedly.
Question is though, could it be due to having to walk everywhere as you can't rely on it or due to the nasty diseases you get from the other denizens?

After 2 years college commuting on Telford's finest 44 Bus, which also doubles as a magnet for the homeless ,chavs and a hospital commute bus , it's not great.
And being pick pocketed was such an unpleasant experience,it encouraged me to just ride a bike there instead ,which probably made me lose a few pounds

Taking the tube, bus or tram can sufficiently increase your blood pressure, thereby eliminating any health benefits you may gain by losing half a stone.
You might also lose your sanity as a bonus.
Because being stuck in endless traffic jams or having to deal with numpty drivers is relaxing?You might also lose your sanity as a bonus.
After a year of using public transport, i definitely feel thinner .. but i suspect part of this is due to observing the lard-buckets who heave their fatty bums on and off the tubes and buses. The 85 Bus to Putney is a particular favourite of mine for observing whole families of fatties transporting bags of cheap cake from ASDAs directly to their lovely estate in Roehampton.

The real key to using public transport is the ability to control your working hours and thus use the system at appropriate times.
Even when I was younger I would travel into the City an hour before I needed to as it ensured a far more pleasant journey. On leaving you either stay in Town until around 7pm or bail when the market shuts at 4.30
In essence, if you find you are traveling at a time when there are lots of girls with too much make-up on then you are travelling at the wrong time and are going to have an unpleasant experience.

I thought that two of the key reasons was that using public transport is so expensive that you would no longer be able to afford food and takes so long that you wouldn't have time to cook and eat it anyway. Well that's my experience from round here, but then I don't live in a city where it *may* make sense.
d and I use public transport to commute.
