    It's not worth risking life over a few bad words! I say ignore it best you can. It's a bus ride, not a plane flight! Avoid any confrontation by moving to another seat, or if it's so bad you can't stand it, get off the bus and catch another one. Politely asking a person who is without enough respect to recognize his inappropriate behavior in public, possibly high or suffering mentally, will make for no change to the better. The situation after delivery of nice comments could be taken as a personal affront to their right to be themselves. It could become a very bad situation real fast. Don't risk it!
