I carry a gigantic red purse, large enough to contain my lunch, a book and a pair of shoes. Since we have snow now, that last item is helpful. I deliberately carry a large bag, so I don't need to carry multiple items with me. I end up carrying more to a contract position with no real place to keep anything than I would if I were in a permanent position, or even one in which I have space to put stuff.
Many people on the bus carry multiple bags, but I have the strange feeling that most of them are going to a so-called permanent position; which leads me to wonder what on earth they're carrying back and forth each day.
Men used to carry hardsided briefcases, which have gone by the wayside and been replaced first by softer cases, now primarily by high-end, Tumi or Swiss Army backpacks and may be also accompanied by a computer bag. Along with a duffel bag.
Women are loaded down even more; I have seen people carrying a purse, lunch bag (either fabric bag or small handled store bag obviously containing lunch), a tote bag and a handled grocery or shopping bag.
It's way too much stuff.
