    Has anyone else noticed that over the past 18 months fewer people on PT and other public places seem to be on their phones .

    It used to be about 80% , now it seems to be about 50%.

    Assuming that is true maybe all the scandals and revelations that apps are taking private information are influencing people’s decision to use their phone less.

        The fuckwit is a good reason to be aware. I hope people don’t think they are alone if they feel threatened on PT. There is always help nearby.

      No. But I’m either in the 50% or wrangling kids. Either way, I’m not paying other passengers any attention.

        If people weren’t aware then you wouldn’t have people helping mothers with prams or helping the disabled.

        iow, we live in a society and awareness is a good thing.
