Riding a train in a metro area isn't living, it is merely transportation. Actual living is sitting at a table drinking coffee with friends, lounging by the pool, sharing a laugh at the bar, camping in the wilderness, sitting at home on the couch with a loved one enjoying Boardwalk Empire. If I choose not to interact with people or even lift my head up riding a train, it's my choice and I'm doing nothing wrong to be scolded like a schoolboy. The music on top of the apps really help with all the annoying noises by kids and loud talkers too.
