I agree.

I hate this. It's so rude and disrespectful. And it's nasty.

It's pure selfishness at its worse.

This! Heaven forbid they move a briefcase, purse, backpack, package or their dirty feet! We did the LIRR/Air Train to JFK with backpacks and one carry-on each. We made a point of stowing what we could on the racks and keeping other items on our laps. The train was packed. It would have been so rude to deny someone a seat!

I'd like to charge all sorts of people I don't like more, but I doubt it would fly.

I dont think you can do this by weight because some people are just big boned... I think we need to hire an examiner at every entry point to charge and examine fatness on a scale of 1-3

Really tall people block our view and I can trip over short people. Plus folks with puffy winter coats and toenail clippers and ladies with too much perfume on or folks who reek of cigarettes and tourist with lots of luggage.

The answer to all of this is to just drive your own vehicle.
Just be careful making those right on reds at camera intersections.

Hell no!!!!! I'd rather deal with all of the nuances of the LIRR than to drive to city. It takes me 30-40 minutes to get to Penn Station everyday. It would take me triple that time if I were to drive.

Lets not forget this is not the subway. No matter how bad the LIRR is, it is a MUCH, MUCH better experience than that god forsaken subway.

I'm anti social/anti human race so I would rather walk than use any form of public transport and be in close quarters with strangers.
I haven't used public transport in 30 years.
