While no city has solved the problem of manspreading
There it is. Another woman who doesn’t understand there are physiological reasons men sit the way they do, yes for comfort.
Being uncomfortable is not a requirement for using public transport.
If those are the biggest behavioural issues the author is worried about then I would question if she has ever even caught public transport.
Pee and poop and other bodily emissions, vaping, drunk or drugged, sadly mentally unwell and kids doing stupid shit are way higher on my list.
And beyond those, my main concern is keeping MY cool and not reacting or doing anything that gets me in trouble.
I think the solution is Australia need more public transport so they can work on their manners
These are definitely common problems in public transport. On Bourke Street you might fight your way into a tram and stand pressed up against the door, only to see a huge uninhabited space a short way down the aisle that no-one is using. Crowd dynamics are weird.
People have fogotten what heaphones are for on phones.
