Commuting Bag/1st Aid Kit

Do you take a bag with you on your commute with emergency supplies such as first aid stuff? What all do you keep in your bag? I know you need to pack light but I can think of like a million things I could possibly end up needing....although I actually have never had a situation where I needed something right then and there. So anyways I was wondering what all of you keep in your commuting bag? What you think is necessary and what is not.
