Actually, I had the impression that almost everyone uses the bus/coach system in Europe, or at least in England, so it's a lot less "random homeless/drunk people" and more...random anyone. In the US, yeah, generally it's just people who can't afford private transport or an airplane flight. The irritating thing is that coach travel in the UK is exactly as uncomfortable as it is in the US. I mean, I have like five entries on my travel blog dedicated solely to how much I hate coach travel (http://duskthroughnarrowstreets.today.com/?s=coach+travel).
