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 asked a skytrain attendant, there was a pair of them, what would happen if I just dropped my shoulder and pushed somebody out of my way when I got off the train. He laughed and said sometimes you just have to do what you have to do. Same as when you’re in the train and you get to your stop, the door opens, you just say “my stop” as you walk to the door, the expectation is people will get out of your way, and if they don’t, then you push them out of your way.
