public transportation

People of London were absolutely horrified to see these buttons with the words "Tube chat?" popping up all over the place. The source, according to Mashable, turned out to be a man named Jon Dunne and his wife, both from small towns in America and now living in London. He told them, "I thought it would be way more fun [but] it was sort of brutal." 

No kidding, the response to #tubechat has been hilarious but not very welcoming.

Although, this one isn't a bad idea:

An unidentified Boston couple made an alarming pit stop during their commute on public transit. A passenger snapped this picture of the brazen subway sex act and sent it to the MBTA Transit Police on social media. The Transit Police are attempting to identify and arrest the couple. If they are found, they may be charged with open and gross lewdness which will require them to register as sex offenders and possible serve up to three years in prison. 

These were (note: past tense) the advertisements promoting a Welsh bus company's all-day deal for metro passes. While we give them credit for creating equal-opportunity sexy ads, maybe this wasn't such a hot idea to begin with.

Still, it can't be any worse than Seattle's own short-lived "South Lake Union Trolley."
