So not "extremely common" as the commenter upthread said.

> liquid left on seats

As in, something spilled?

> litter

Lol. Only on a weekly or monthly basis?

> gag-inducing smelly people

I think some people are looking to be judgmental.

> antisocial behavior

That's taking it pretty far; it's easy to ignore these things which are almost always harmless - none have ever affected my life. Maybe being judgmental and (for some) hateful is the real and dangerous antisocial behavior - the consequences have had real and awful consequences for many.

You can plug your ears and accept riding run-down trains full of shit, litter, puke, and threatening mentally ill people, in the name of not being "hateful," or as a society you can choose to have dignity and not put up with that.

  • Now the personal attacks; I'd rather ride with the person who talks to themself than the person telling me what I must think (or else I lack dignity!) - which of course is what they think.

    > not put up with that

    That's a bit controlling, insisting the world and other people must be your way. Freedom means something very different. No wonder you don't like NY.
