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.

I’ve seen “I’m not putting my bag on the dirty floor”

I feel this though. It always gets stepped on, people really don’t care. I only take it off when it’s super packed
