Inconveniently for me, my main gripe about bad riders ( = odor) isn't practical to solve without some kind of publicly available bathing facilities--and right now, people are loathe to even offer public restrooms. I think libraries & municipal offices would be where to start.
This is a *policy decision of transit operators,* though, not something they are magically compelled to do, or anything intrinsically related to transit's function (viz., moving large numbers of people)

If we decide that buses are to be mobile homeless shelters, well, so much the worse for bus riders--but that's not what buses are actually for, otherwise they'd be designed very differently. As it stands, forcing transit to fill that role isn't great for the homeless, either!

that's exactly what i'm saying. it's not a direct policy that someone consciously made. it's exactly the same way that other guy was arguing that what the seats are made out of don't matter. no one is thinking about the actual impact of their policies.

And ergo it can be solved by correcting policies where relevant

yes. which might just be stopping the homeless from riding.
