    I find myself reacting to other people on public transport and it’s stuff like smelling really bad, making loud noises etc etc. I very much prefers cars…

    I get depressed when going on public transport. :)

      There’s a reinforcing feedback loop there. I only see that occasionally on my commutes now, but it is a reflection of the community and the people who consider it an option for them. The more unusual taking public transportation is, the more unusual the people will be. But we can help to normalize it.

        It’s very normal where I live… It’s so normal that people think they are in their living room, because they have loud private conversations, have their phone sound on top volume, and generally smell bad.

        Maybe that’s not what you meant though.
