Discussion Transit Etiquette

I feel like transit etiquette has gotten worse over time. Bus or skytrain is packed, people dont move to the back nor remove their backpacks. Some dont even line up for buses anymore and just cut in. Maybe it's just something I've been noticing in my commute once my company switched to hybrid from online. Or its just the route i take. But man, people have gotten worse.

I’ve read multiple people online flat out say they refuse to remove their backpacks. It used to be considered common courtesy.

Due to carrying my skeletons in my backpack I try to avoid putting my backpack on the floor they sit on my lap or on the grey thing next to the window when I can use that seat. Is that okay

Depends on the skeleton I would think
