Strangers who use public spaces absolutely owe other people their consideration. It's part of the price of admission to a public space. It's not enforceable in practice but I'd be surprised if a certain level of being inconsiderate is even legal in most public spaces.

I don't disagree with that in theory, but like you pointed out... Who's going to enforce it in practice? Shouldn't have to be me, or anyone else who doesn't work for public transit.

Obviously there's a point where I'd say something if a person was being truly inappropriate, but I'm not risking my neck over music on a bus.

You can at least feel superior to the assholes screwing up public spaces to the rest of us.

How is this not enforceable ? When someone is way to loud, drunk, promesticutus or drunk in the public space, you can call the police. Of course, there is appropiate mesures so police won’t come for music that is merelly loud but appropriate public behaviour is indeed enforced.

You can call the police, but will they actually show up and do anything about it? Where I live they almost certainly will not.

Where I live, the police only do something about it if they've been called multiple times and are annoyed. Which just encourages people to report it immediately instead of when they actually need the noise to stop.
