I'm OK with it as long as it doesn't affect my personal space or physically threaten me/my family. (all of those things are normal everyday things.)
Sometime I think that Americans are too coddled/sheltered from real life.
Committing a crime isn't cool ... and I haven't seen that one as I doubt people on the train/bus would stand for it. You'd have to be quite braven to commit such a crime with 30 other people in the same car/wagon/bus.
maybe you're right, I'm not sure. England is the size of a very small state over here. Would be fairly easy to have and regulate a comprehensive transportation system in such a small place. I imagine there are advancements galore that make our systems pale in comparison
It's just a different place, I'm not going to speculate on if we are sheltered from life as you call it. There are some pretty rough places over here
