Yeah, that matches my experience on public transport alright.

Crammed in so tight you can't even bend a knee, and god help you if you're travelling with luggage or groceries...

That's not really a car issue, that's a "no-one invests in public transport" issue.

That’s not really a car issue, that’s a “no-one invests in public transport” issue.

...which is absolutely a car issue. It's not happening for no reason!

People don't invest in public transit because they have cars. Imagine if cars were banned. People would be falling over themselves to improve the systems they need to use every day.

Also too many public transport is being treated like a business, where you optimally want to cut expense therefore always reduce frequency until the vehicle is crammed to full capacity.
