I have pictures. I wanted to start a blog about the most disgusting things I've seen on the public trans.
Worst:
The doors into the vestibules are covered in filth. You're supposed to slide these doors open with your hands.

(you can see the grease and dust stick to the doors)
- I don't ever want to touch the doors with my open hands. I always try to punch them open or kick the shit out of them.
Bird shit.

- At first I was disgusted. Shortly after, I was looking for birds.
During the weekends, the transit association bug bombs the trains. They never do a good job of cleaning though. Here's the baggage tray that sits over your head.

(ticks, mites, all kinds of insects)
- I never leave my bag open on the train. I fear something will crawl or fall in.
Dried blood on a wall. It looks like someone cut their hand and didn't realize.

- This was gross. I had to tell a conductor about the blood. It's a hazmat issue.
Note, I go from Chicago to the Northwest suburbs. If I were to take Chicago transportation to commute within the city, it's 100X more disgusting.
Best? I'm guessing random chicks during the summer. They wear almost nothing. It's bonerriffic.
