If this was typically a crowded bus for the time of day, maybe this hobo was just trying to ensure he'd get a spot? Who are we to judge what this tramp's motivations might have been?
Regardless, cops say they're all over it. They vow to "remain in the neighborhood until he [the hobo] is caught."
But that begs the question: Isn't this vagrant, by his very nature (ya know, homeless and stuff), not wed to any particular neighborhood, let alone this one?
This loafer could've already hopped a train for Jersey for all we know. Or more likely a bus, as the case may be.
