Train Ettiquette

However, I'm wondering if anyone else is frustrated with the following types of behaviours on the train, or whether it is just understood and unnoticed, that these simple gestures of kindness no longer exist
- People pushing in front of you to be first on the train, just as the train arrives, when you have been waiting patiently at that spot for some time
- Men sitting next to you with their legs spread far apart, so they take up half of your seat.
- High School students who pay a portion fare and still sit down
- People talking loudly on their mobiles
- People who have sat the entire trip, not waiting until those who have stood the entire trip get off the train.
Am I the only one?

LT7 I commute 40 mins on inner Sydney cattle truck condition trains. For the past 3 years I was commuting 3 hrs each way from the South coast to Sydney. As such sevices were slow, late with poor infrequent connections. Nothing got my goat more than slow Sydney commuters who have no etiquette themseves, slowly ambling into the carriage, holding up people behind them, selfishly causing them to miss their train just because they are slow moving, checking their phone etc. Now that IS poor etiquette. Busy trains require people to move with the need for fast people traffic movement. It is selfish to move as slow as s snail and expect other commuters to miss their train due to your own lack of consideration...that other people might want to get to work on time possibly?
