I like condestrians. The same concept: Crowdestrians.

One of mine concerns those often-huge rubber chunks -- involuntarily retired
tire retread parts -- seen alongside interstates, etc.  The BrE tyre serves
better than the AE version in...
... tyrunamukis.

I heard an interesting blend yesterday from my wife when she was talking
about the large number of pedestrians walking about downtown. She called
them "condestrians," seemingly a blend of "congested/congestion" and
"pedestrian."
