Public vehicles become more and more ubiquitous as they are the most efficient and equitable solution for urban mobility and climate change. Besides the power of connecting the cities, public transport systems are fast, comfortable, affordable, and most importantly, accessible. As a result, many people nowadays take public transportation rather than driving their own cars.
However, because these vehicles are not their personal property, some people are free to act irrationally and grotesquely.
