No - but an ex of mine did! He was going to Bristol and ended up in Birmingham!
He woke up to find his dad knocking on the train window as the train was pulling out of Bristol. So, to be cool, he leapt to his feet, screamed 'DAAAAAD' at the top of his voice, then screamed to stop the train while trying to grab his bags. He then went back to his seat, trying to look noncholant - not easy for him as he was 6'6" tall!
We got a phone call at about midnight saying he was stranded at New Street Station and could he possibly sleep at our house!
Despite the fact that he was an ex (and I had not got over him) I agreed and my father went and picked him up!
My funny on a bus was going to an outdoor pop festival by bus cos there was a train strike. We had been up very early to sort everything out. I got on the bus and promptly went to sleep. (we were in a double decker, at the front upstairs). I woke up and asked the classic question: "are we nearly there yet?". I had only been asleep for 20 minutes and we had not even reached the motorway!
Hope these stories help!

No, but I do wake someone up when it's time to get off. Or if they look sleepy I'll ask them where they're headed. However, it's quite interesting. I could never fall asleep in a bus or sky train, I believe in "sleep and waste your day, same thing." It's amazing how some people just 'wake up' right when their stop is here as if they've been doing this all their lives. Well, fact remains NO I haven't ever fallen asleep in a bus etc.

I have fallen asleep while travelling but always woke at my stop. Well except once but that was ok because I was on a bus and woke up only one or two stops past mine. I know someone who fell asleep on a bus and ended up in the next county, luckily the bus was going back that way so he stayed on!

Yes, I was a little inebriated and fell asleep on the London underground. Went from one end of the Northern line to the other!!!

No. I always have an in-built instinct to wake up for some reason!
But i was on a train day dreaming once and totally missed my stop. I was off in my own little world somewhere!

i will in user-friendly terms flow to sleep on v/line trains in Melbourne. On metros i won't be able to flow to sleep as i'm scared for my very own protection. On different modes of transportation I in user-friendly terms truly flow to sleep on an airplane.
