Public transit is supposed to be a shared space where we all silently agree to suffer together . But now and then, someone shows up and decides to treat the bus or train like it’s their living room, personal spa, or trash can. And that’s when things go from mildly annoying to full-on commuter rage.
Whether it’s the foot-on-the-seat crowd , the backpack flailers, or the people blasting music like it’s a nightclub, these folks really knew how to ruin a ride. So, please enjoy this roundup of inconsiderate passengers who made public transit a whole lot worse, just by being there.
