What B.D. has shown us is part of the ride for commuters, especially those that use a route all the time but also for those who occasionally ride to get to a concert or cultural activity. For the habitual riders they have their thirty/ninety minutes on the train with a variable group of strangers. Some listen to music, some read, some do work if there are consistently enough seats as you would find on a PATH train into NY. For these people the scenery is the same, the bumps are the same so they cope by doing something with their time. For most people starting a political discussion with mostly strangers is out of the question so society has a created a coping mechanism of withdrawal when peoples personal space is not possible. So, no, I don't find desolation on the trains. In fact, I usually do get into conversations with my fellow travelers much to the embarrassment of my family.
