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!

    I think it’s worse! 1) it’s disgusting. 2) it’s taking up a seat. 3) there are people who don’t smoke and they have to breathe in all that ash, even if they’re not near it as smoke can spread. I would go right to the other end of the train if I spotted that.

    Not all of them. I don’t smoke, but my parents do and they always, and I mean ALWAYS do it outside, away from me. At home, they do it in the back garden. At my grandparents’ caravan they do it outside on the deck, and anywhere else (like a hotel) they do it outside, in a designated place. So no, not all smokers consider the entire world their ashtray. Maybe some do, but not all of them.

    We only mentioned the Western world so far, but public transportation is in quite a high demand in other parts of the world, too. In 2015, the International Association of Public Transport released a comprehensive study about public transport in the 21st century.

    According to their data, China had the largest number of total journeys, Europe (the 27 countries included in the study) ranked second, and Japan came in third. In China, an average resident would take about 84.5 journeys a year, and an average European would use public transport 57.3 times a year.

    Yes it's annoying but I try to be understanding in this situation you don't know if one or both of them have hearing issues, lipread or have other issues that mean normal phone calls are difficult. My sister has hearing problems and can hear better when she can see the other person, also my phone has terrible sound, it's just very quiet and hard to hear unless it's on loudspeaker. (I don't do phonecalls much but if I'm in a noisy public place and have to take a call I unfortunately have to use loudspeaker or I can't hear a thing)

    As far as cities go, Hong Kong is often praised for having one of the most efficient public transportation systems in the world. And the locals know it: in a recent survey by Time Out, 98% of those living in Hong Kong rated the city's public transportation system positively.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The respondents listed 10 different lines, air-conditioned buses, minibuses, and even double-decker trams as the main reasons why. Other Asian cities didn't fall that much behind Hong Kong. Shanghai and Beijing were voted second and third place, respectively, by their locals.

    Many public transport companies around the world are not profitable – that's just the nature of it. Yet in Hong Kong, the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) Corporation operates on the "rail plus property" model. It has residential and commercial properties above its stations, from which they collect rent or sale fees and therefore are able to turn a profit.

    Public transport ticket prices in Hong Kong aren't that high either. If you only need to go a few stops, the cheapest fare is only 50 cents in U.S. dollars. If you need to get to the other side of the city, the fare will be more expensive, but it's still around 7.5 USD. In 2019, the tickets alone covered 170% of the system's operating costs. Last year, MTR's profit was around two billion dollars.

    Atlantic Terminal Brooklyn

    Man on public transport secretly taking a photo of a woman reflected on his phone screen while sitting next to a metal railing.

    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.

    Report him to the authorities. Remember that Dominique Pelicot, the man who abused his wife Gisèle (and drùgged her regularly to let men ràpe her), was first arrested because he was filming under a woman's skirt. He could have continued for years. The cops found the videos in his computer.

    And Joseph Le Scouarnec, a surgeon who abused more than 300 children has been found with p**o images and unfortunately never lost his job, leading to more victims. It's not just a creep. It may be so much more.

    2 Women In The Bus Were Loudly Discussing Why My Arms Look Like This. Neither Were Right

    Arms with red marks and scratches, likely caused by infuriating public transport passengers' careless behavior.

    Loudly discussing on a full bus if its self harm or eczema scars. Also made a comment about how i need to wear long sleeves, and I shouldn’t be painting my nails because it just draws more attention. I don’t think the scars are that bad.

    Experts say that the "rail plus property" model works wonderfully for Hong Kong, but would be hard to implement in cities with old railway systems such as London or New York. "The metro in Hong Kong is much younger than those in London and New York," Karol Zemek, editor of Metro Report International, told The Guardian.

    "A lot of problems, especially in New York at the moment, come from ageing infrastructure. Parts of the London and New York networks are among the oldest examples of metros in the world."

    This may seem like a small problem--people behaving very badly on public transit, but, really, they should be held accountable for whatever awful thing they do. The kids who left this mess should be made to clean it up. If there's no accountabllity then people who are ok with doing these types of things will never ever stop. Rules and consequences aren't made for people who have a modicum of decency towards fellow humans. It's for people like this.

    In Germany, some train compartments would have extra foldable seats that are there to put your bike in front of. The space is assigned for bikes which would otherwise take up space in the middle of the train and could fall over/onto passengers. So This might be a problem for people looking for a place to sit, but it is legal and also safer (if the bikes are restrained).

As someone who uses canes to get around, I was lucky someone else let me have their seat. A lot of times the seated play the "If I don't make eye contact with you, I don't have to get up" game.

    I would shove it away from me. I already hate squeezing into seats on public transport. I'm tall (6ft,2") with long legs, squeezing into a small space is already uncomfortable and claustrophobic, so having someone rest their stuff on me would make that worse and I'd have to do something or have a massive panic attack.

    Interestingly, while only residents can ride Malta's public transport for free, in Luxembourg, it is free for tourists and commuters alike. That's because a whopping 45% of workers commute to Luxembourg from neighboring countries. Most cities which have implemented free public transport also grant it only to residents, including Tallinn and Belgrade.

    There's ways of doing things, for the love of God. Get on the train with a bag of pain au chocolat, hand them out to those sitting nearest to you, and apologise profusely then explain that you need to make a conference call and how much you'd appreciate it if people kept their voices down, although you understand you're being a bit cheeky. I never understand why people chose trying to exert 'their right' or whatever they think instead of using a method that's effective.

    Americans, on the other hand, are known as heavily car-dependent people. However, most still see the benefits that public transit has. In one survey, the respondents identified congestion relief and accessibility to vulnerable residents as benefits for their community. At the same time, few were willing to support increased spending on transit or raising any specific tax to increase funding.

    Many Americans also think that using public transport isn't as smooth as just hopping in your own car and driving wherever you like. These are some issues residents have named in a recent study:

A conductor came to check tickets and told them to remove their feet, which they did until he disappeared. After a while, a very large and imposing Afro - American conductor came along and in a booming voice said " take your feet off the seats ". OMG, I've never seen anyone comply with such alacrity ! And they never put them back for the rest of the trip. Good man and it gave me great satisfaction !

    I have already done this, in a tone that you would use for "You've left your wallet": "hey! Look, You've forgotten some stuff!" And the people picked up after themselves.

    Why are people so gross, rude and inconsiderate? And we are too polite to say anything or to possibly antagonize the crazy person. This whole gallery is why I hate people and stopped being social.

    Whisper to them, "You're brave. I'm on the way to the doctor to be tested for Covid." Then watch them run away.

    So this is mostly the bus's fault. If seats recline people are allowed to recline them.

    Exactly. I can understand both sides. Someone wants to take full advantage of the perks of the seat they paid for. The people behind want to be able to enjoy their seat, too. It's a design flaw.

    As long as he's not spilling it, I don't see the big deal. I've seen someone drop a 2L of Pepsi on the bus, with the cap breaking off and Pepsi spraying on a bunch of people.

    I don't see an issue here. Unless the mug says something really offensive or he's baptising people with coffee - he's just minding his own business. Plus - those disposable cups are c**p for the environment
