Dunno where you are but this was Minneapolis/St Paul which had crap for mass transit. At least back then. Very hub and spoke without much else. If you were commuting from the suburbs to down town you were often on the same schedule and same bus as a lot of other people. I was never able to leverage the system as the routes could never get me to work. Biked a lot, though.

I used to take the train to Philly from the western burbs. I had train friends, but often, I didn't recognize anyone. Didn't really have much of a pickpocket problem, though, that I was aware of.

Weird. My bus had the same 25 people on it for the first 20 minutes every day. I never spoke to them but I felt like I knew them all very well.

Buses and trams here go every 5-10min so people take a different one every time it seems, myself included
