    And anyone who frequents public transport knows how annoying that can be.

    I thought that as well, but only a whacko would kill someone because of that and not everybody turns their headphones loud, besides, it does not explain a whole lot of the other things the guy did.

    I think that may just as well have other reasons for example that people do not want to be bothered with questions from the police etc. because they see their own lives as so important etc. and then all the others can just help as well you know, unfortunately everybody thinks that and then everybody just moves on wondering why nobody does anything and why everybody else is such a cold hearted person.

    I believe you are all missing the point here. If I was trapped on a bus and forced to watch The Legend of Zorro, somebody would be losing their cranium as well.

    I think you're both becoming severed from reality.

    I don't actually mind it that much. The U-Bahn here is pretty good about that (and so, surprisingly, is the Toronto Subway, even though I hate the trains there), so the public transport here is generally very quiet and orderly.

    Though I do have a tendency to zone out when on train rides, so I may be missing something.
