I've never really understood why some people seem to think travelling on
public transport is any different to walking down the street with regards
to personal communication. You wouldn't stop some random stranger in the street
and try and have a chat with them unless you were mad, ****ed or on drugs, so
why is a train any different? Just because I'm standing or sitting next to
you doesn't mean I want to be your mate.

Not really. The reluctance to engage naturally increases with the decrease

Unfortunately there are a - luckily tiny - minority of people who think
proximity should equate to familiarity.
