> I like people too but not random train passengers. They smell bad, are unattractive and grouchy. I don’t want to strike up conversations with randos. They make the train dirty. The vast majority of people who take mass transit in busy cities do not fit your description of "randos". They are clean, well mannered, and presentable. Based on your description of "randos", it sounds like you are actually referring to homeless people using the train. And while I agree that it is really unpleasant to have to occasionally share a train car with someone who hasn't bathed recently due to lack of housing, a better approach to that problem might be public support to help these people get housing and treatment for their afflictions, so that when they are on transit with you, they are no more or less offensive to you than anyone else.
