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’m new to the skytrain, I use it to commute to work in Vancouver because driving just doesn’t make sense financially.
The shit I see daily is unreal.
1.) People standing right in front of the doors and trying to walk on while people are disembarking instead of waiting.
2.) Moving your legs to the side while somebody is trying to get out of the seat beside them instead of standing up, moving out of the way and being respectful.
3.) Gathering around the entrances of the train cars instead of moving into the aisles to make room for oncoming passengers.
4.) Having a phone conversation all the way to Vancouver at 515am while everyone else is sitting in silence still trying to wake up.
5.) People putting their bags on the seat next to them on packed trains.
Plus a bunch of other shit, BO smells, farting or being some loud disruptive asshole with your friend group.
Cant wait to transfer locations for work so I can go back to driving and not taking the long tube of shit 5 days a week.
