The teenager was taking up three seats while it was busy in the metro

Some people take public transit because they don’t have a car, others take it because it makes it easier to get from point A to point B, and others take it because it’s better for the environment. Whatever your reason may be to take the bus, train or metro, you certainly know that public transportation has its pros and cons.

Public transit

Public transit is perfect for getting from point A to point B. Especially if you’re going to a city, taking a train, bus or metro is often the easiest and cheapest way to get around. You don’t have to deal with traffic, finding parking or paying steep prices for parking. On the other hand, public transit can be unpredictable. There are often delays and you have to be lucky enough to even get a seat. The latter can get a bit tricky when passengers require a bit more space. Take this teenager for example, who isn’t taking up one, but three seats in the metro. When a man wanted to sit in one of the seats, the boy refused to move his legs. That’s when the man decided to teach him a lesson.

Crowded

Everyone who uses public transit, like the bus or metro, knows that it can be really crowded sometimes. You have to fight to even get a seat. At least, not literally, thankfully. In most cases at least. What is annoying though, is when people take up more than one seat. For example, by putting their bag on the seat next to them or putting a suitcase in the legroom.

What’s even worse is when people sit with their legs wide open. Nice and relaxed on the chair(s) next to them while others have to stand in the aisle. But what do you do if you see this happen? Do you confront the person? Do you let it go? Or do you just go ahead and sit? All these questions rushed through this man’s head when saw a boy laying down across multiple seats in the metro.

Irritable

We don’t know what it is, but every time we take public transit, we’re a little more irritable. It’s too slow, there’s always delays, it’s too crowded, people don’t take others into account, passengers take up too much space or are too loud, the list goes on.

If you take public transit on the regular, you surely know what we mean. While there are numerous occasions where something has made us feel uncomfortable, we usually keep our mouths shut. Public transit is there for everyone – and not everyone will behave in the same way as you.

However, it’s pretty annoying to have to stand when you see a teenager taking up multiple seats…
