As an asside many US transit systmes ban eating and drinking, of any
sort, on board buses and trains. LA Metro comes to mind.

In the UK, Metrolink bans all food and drink (maybe other tram systems
too?) I was once allowed to *carry* a takeaway on a Metrolink tram by
the TTIs, so long as I kept it wrapped up and wasn't tempted to eat
any of it. I was told in no uncertain terms that even this concession
was on a "Just this once" basis.

Nobody stopped me eating my Sunday sandwich lunch on a tram from Eccles,
I'm sure.
