Transit report:

Boarded at St. George 830 (my walk to the subway is timed to the minute at 1/2 an hour) and what a different from 815.  No seats, but still room to breathe. 

I witnessed another part of transit culture in action: getting people to move so you can get off.

The gentle nudge and tap on the shoulder worked well, as the recipient was clearly a seasoned rider.
The same guy responded to my passive aggressive brushing by of the knapsack as I got off, and removed the backpack.  You aren't supposed to wear those on transit esp. at rush hour !
