👉 Ticket fumes refer to the unpleasant odors and irritants that some people experience when they board public transportation, such as buses, trains, or subways, especially during peak travel times. These fumes are primarily caused by the decomposition of organic materials like food waste, sweat, and urine, which can be released from seats, carpets, and other surfaces. Additionally, the use of cleaning products, air fresheners, and sometimes even the exhaust from older vehicles can contribute to these odors. The result is a pungent, often acrid smell that can be particularly bothersome to those sensitive to strong smells, making the travel experience less enjoyable and sometimes even triggering allergic reactions or respiratory discomfort.
