Okay, So first a hobo travels the rails. That hobo also chooses to be that way. Some hobos want to walk across America and that is just what they are doing. A homeless man or woman has no home, while a hobo gave up their home. Also, a homeless got fired or cant afford his taxes. I am glad you asked this question. I am a hobo studier at- (I can not say) and I love to tell people the difference. But please, do not call a homeless man a hobo. It is insulting beyond matters. Thank you. And if you see a hobo wandering the railing you will know just why.
A bum may not be as mobile as a hobo. Hobos are always seen jumping trains, or walking with their stuff tied to a stick in a little bag made up of a scarf. I think a bum can sort of just sit around and beg to be considered a bum.
