Have you witnessed any racial abuse on public transport? If so how many people were racially abusing the person or people? Was it you that was racially abused?

Only thing I can think of was a guy a few years ago on a bus having a rant about white conspiracies; it was more of an accidentally-verbalized inner monologue though, rather than being aimed at anyone, and he obviously had mental health issues, so not sure I'd count it.

Well, perhaps it would be better to say he strongly appeared to have mental health issues - talking very loudly and animatedly to himself.

Not in London but in New York (Harlem) some blacks in the wagon avoided us to sit down next to them, when I saw a free seat the girl next to me changed her place far from me lol.
