Society requires us to find a way to coexist with each other, and while most people manage the basics just fine, there’s always someone who forgets the world doesn’t revolve around them.
They might not seem that annoying in passing, but when you’re crammed together in a packed bus or train during rush hour, it’s a different story.
So as a reminder to be more considerate, we created a wall of shame for passengers treating public transport like a private VIP lounge. From gross hygiene habits to messy eating, and—of course—littering, it’s all here.
In practical terms, this could mean avoiding loud phone conversations, maintaining good hygiene when coughing or sneezing, keeping your belongings and body contained to your seat, avoiding eating strong-smelling food, and never putting your feet on the seats. All of these small actions help ensure public transport is a more comfortable experience for everyone.

#25 This Pushchair Blocking The Carriage Door
On a very empty train. A parent has decided to leave their pushchair (circled in red) unfolded in the middle of the doorway despite the baggage storage area right beside it being completely empty. As a result, there’s approximately 20cm to squeeze through for anyone who wants to visit the toilet, which must be very annoying for the person using the wheelchair space (circled in yellow).

#32 Brushing His Teeth On The 6 From Uptown All The Way To Downtown
He was going to town in his front-teeth-wide-smile style when I got on the train uptown. Did that until Midtown. Then made a nice big old spit on the floor too. I saw it for a good 45 minutes.
