Public transport isn't America's strong suit. According to the Pew Research Center, only 11% of Americans relied on the bus, train, or subway to get around. In Europe, the numbers are very different. In 2024, four in five Europeans living in major cities use public transport daily.

But buses, trains, and subways come with their own etiquette. Unfortunately, some people are not aware of it or choose to ignore it willfully. Such folks think it's okay to leave their trash behind, put their feet in other people's faces, or take up extra seats when the vehicle is clearly crowded.

We've compiled the most infuriating passengers that netizens have captured on their commutes and present them to you here. Go ahead and shame away, Pandas!

    Atlantic Terminal Brooklyn

    Man taking inappropriate photo of a person on public transport, showing unbelievable jerk behavior caught on phone.

    Just saw this creep on the R train by Atlantic Terminal Brooklyn taking pictures of every woman that sat across from him. I think he was sending the pics to people overseas cuz he would open another app right after he took the pic. Saw him do it like 3-4x. Told him to stop taking pics of people as I got off the train.
