Below is a list of 10 things that dumb people do on public transportation. If you agree, it's time to get the word out and change the world! (a little, okay, not alot, but hey it's worth a shot!) This is Guerilla Style. Attached here is a Word Doc for you to print out, cut up, and leave behind on buses! Send me your pictures too!
Just a few things I noticed on the SF Muni (may be applicable elsewhere).
1. That thing that opens up, and people move in and out? That's a door. Don't stand there unless the car you're on is a sardine can..and you complain that people are pushing you...
2. In the aforementioned "Sardine Can" situation, and you are near the door, it is OK to leave the car and let people out. Don't worry, you can get back in.
3. Your backpack/bags double your width. Take those things off and put them by your feet. Smacking people with your backpack is not good...And don't complain that someone is pushing you, you're smacking me in the head with your big ol' bag, it's your fault.
4. It is crowded on the bus, take only ONE seat. Don't put your crap on the other seat. Don't put your feet up. Don't lie down.
5. Cell phone etiquette. Quiet voices, please. I don't want to know about what you did with your boyfriend/girlfriend last night. I don't want to know about how bad your job is, or how hot your coworker is. Also, I don't want to hear you break up with your significant other or have an argument with them. Neither do the rest of the passengers. This means...no yelling, no swearing...and PLEASE, if you hang up on them in anger...don't call them back!
6. Let people out. Are you really in THAT big of a rush? Did you know that if you let everyone out, it's easier to get in?
7. Stop Request in the underground. You don't have to pull that string in the underground, it'll stop by itself...
8. Don't say you were "going to pay". NO you weren't. Take your ticket. Shut up.
9. It is OK to move to the back of the bus. Nobody is going to kill you back there.
10. Don't sing on the bus either, or start treating your seat as a drum. You're not that good. Also, if I can hear your music blasting out of your earphones...why is it up so loud?!!! ARE YOU DEAF...(or, at least, you will be...).
* Also, no explicit public displays of affection. That's just nasty. Get a room, not a bus.

Sometimes when I'm trying to get off BART, I'll say somewhat loudly, something along the lines of, "You'll make it on just please let me walk out the door."
No one really reacts. I tend to wait by the door to let people out when I'm trying to get in and people will walk around me, sometimes pushing me, to get through while (duh) running into the people leaving.
I agree with you on #3. I once got smacked in the side of the head by a woman's bag as she was walking past my seat to get to the door. The lady was so rude that she turned around and gave me a dirty look that basically said "how dare your head hit my precious bag." Really people...take control of your belongings and keep them away from my face.
I was going to pay, I swear. I know a girl that got socked in the face on the bus once. That wasn't really in good taste, I'd say.
I've seen some crazy stuff on mass transit. It's no wonder everyone prefers a car. I hear SF is about to introduce two story buses though, so hopefully this will mean a lot more room to distance yourself from people with. Haha.
A month ago, I saw a young couple with a big bag of weed. They just took it out and started rolling joints right there. Awkwaaaard.
hahahaha....somehow I overlooked this picture at the bottom of the page. That is too funny. I always see this kind of stuff around town (especially San Francisco). People do need to get a room!!!
