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?

I totally agree with you there is no train ettiquette. No one stands for elderly people any more, school students just look at you as if your crazy and don't offer their seat to anyone. The are no longer gentlemen left in this world where they stand up for you, hold the door open etc. Was female equality really worth all of this? I believe that children have a rights to but have we gone to far? They certainly don't respect their elders or anyone else or property.
